... I think it's a much cleaner setup than using the standard length belt and dummy AC pulley.
I just did the AC delete a couple days ago. Instead of using the big idler pulley where the AC compressor would normally go...I used the reverse tensioner from a mustang, and switched it to an 8 rib belt like described in this link. I think it's a much cleaner setup than using the standard length belt and dummy AC pulley.

so how are you bolting the tensioner up? is there something i'm missing from my stock sc tensioner to go along with that one? i ordered the mustang tensioner, along with the 8 rib pulley but can't for the life of me figure out how to set the damn thing so that it has tension?!?
dave, what is the number on that belt ? and is the tensioner from an n/a bird ?
we have exactly the same pulley setup so whatever u have should fit perfect on mine.

I couldn't get it to go on either. I cut the red pin off the back of the tensioner and drilled the hole out to be slightly larger for the blue pin, then it fit fine.

I had to use one 5/8" flatwasher behind the pulley and do a little clearance filing on the arm of the tensioner to keep from rubbing the edge of the pulley. I also used the stock tensioner mounting bolt so all my pulleys and tensioners could be removed with the same size wrench.
