454 without AC belt diagram

[Tag George]

I see there are different belt tensionners , idlers , and belts for a 93 454 depending on if it has AC or not. I want to eliminate the AC on my engine I will be putting in my truck.

Since there is not a AC bypass pulley available can I just change the things listed above ?

Can anyone post a Belt diagram with and without AC please? I want to see if the diagram would give me any clues as to if this would work.

Wow! There is not info about how to eliminate the AC pulley on the net for a 454. People say use the 5.7 bypass pulley then they realise in a later post it would only bolt on one side. Then nothing the posts ends without resolution. I know it may not be as common as a 350 but by no means is it a hard to find engine that people do not mod. Someone please give me working link to help with this issue then sticky it.

Without purchasing them I do not know. Those are listed mainly for vans. The vans of that era used different compressor I think.

It was not easy to find but I found the original factory Bypass bracket. It is part number 14103105. Then you use pulley 14103118. Under the bracket you are supposed to use Brace part number 10085785 but i could not find one. So I did some test fitting and I was able to use the factory AC bracket to support it with no modifications.
