You can also do what I did and go to your local parts store and buy the belt minus the air conditioning. The only thing you have to do is run the belt a little different than the pic under the hood shows. I did this on my Svt and it ran a lot better. The only down fall is it gets hot as hell in there during the summer and you take the chance of burning the a/c unit up if you let it sit there and not run for to many months. Cause the a/c unit lubricates itself when it runs that is why sometimes you will feel a decrease in power sometimes if you turn on your defroster. That is just my 2 cents worth. So take it or leave it but I did it for a few moths and I noticed a nice increase in power during takeoff and acceleration.
