Help me out. I think that the a/c condensor is robbing alot of power from my car. Can anyone tell me what i need to do to take out my condesor and still have an alternator? Much appreciated.

There are kits u can buy or just customize the belt setup with new pulleys/Diesel alternator and bracket and a handful of shims. It was easy.

They have kits you can buy. I saw them on ebay. They come with the pulley and belt.
I forget the link but search and youll find it.

I doubt your AC condensor is robbing any power from your car unless the clutch for the pulley is messed up. Although dropping the weight will help you. Either way, here is a thread where we have been talking about this for a while. Be forewarned though- there is a significant difference between 8v and 16v (you) and the advice is not interchangeable.
