Currently not working so I want to remove the compressor until such time that I get around to replacing the compressor. When I take the compressor off will I need to change some pulleys for the power steering and alternator? Thank you, Joe

Your best best bet will be to find a complete non ac pulley and bracket setup. Whatever you do, don't sell your oem ac stuff. You will never find the correct hoses.

Just about ready to fire up my 70. Have not restored the hose I have left so I hope it does not leak! I have not seen another one for sale since.

Thank you, Joe power steering won't change as it doesn't run on the compressor , and there isn't a power steering pulley for A/C vs. non A/C. The only thing you would need to figure out is the altenator , but you can change the water pump pulley to the non AC and you should be able to run a belt with the existing lower pulley.

Ok thanks. I will get a non ac water pump pulley. And I am not going to sell the parts. Just keep them for when I get a new compressor. Joe

You are right , I gave the OP the benifit of the doubt that when he took off the compressor and saw tha tthe altenator mounting point was gone that he would know he needed the non A/C Alt. mounting brackets. I have run the dual pulley alt on a non A/C setup and don't remember throwing belts , but I will admit I haven't used the big ugly lower pulley. But I have pulled motors from the junk yard that had the 4 groove pulley on them and didn't have the A/C setups still in place runing non A/C water pump and alt. setup ???? but you do this more than me ...
