another belt question 200 1978

posted by  someone claiming to be Kevin on  Mon Apr 1 01:11 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I just put this IPD(I Paid Dearly) kit on my 81 240, I also replaced the bushing with the blue poly ones. I also removed the ac compressor(bad idea). Once it was removed the PS bracket would flex and vibrate, at 2K rpm it looked like the belt would fly off and the pump was going to self distruct. I took it all apart and welded a gusset into the bracket. It is better but I need to take it apart again and weld a bigger gusset in place. Bottom line, if you use the AC belt relocation kit, leave the AC compressor in the car.
