Serpentine Belt Design

Hey guys

Sorry to bother with so many questions. Can any help me with pics of the serpentine belt diagram on the 2.5..

 

Another question...I want to eliminate the a/c portion of the engine bay but I notice I don't have the tensioner. Is it a quick swap?

See if this helps. If not, I have a PDF I can send that shows all Jeep belt routing diagrams.

Here is an image under the hood of my 87 2WD 2.5L with A/C. The tensioner is in the power steering pump.

Comanchemodder your a/c and alternator is different from mine...mine is actually reversed alternator is on the bottom of the a/c compressor and doesn't have the pulley like yours do

Mine look more like this pic but with power steering

 

 

But want to convert to this pic but realized I don't have the idler pulley...I seen one on rock auto for about 13$ shipped but where do I mount it? And does the part come with the bolt also?

Does anyone have any pics of where the tensioner pully is installed? Without a/c

My 87 without AC looks like figure 27 in post number 5 or figure 13 in post number 6. The tensioner is in the power steering pump.

 

I've actually been thinking of removing the idler pulley as it doesn't seem to do much useful.
