Hello
I have an '85 245 Turbo. It seems to have '84 AC and PS components. AC is already bypassed and the PS belt runs from Saginaw pump directly to the crank. Im currently replacing the PS pump and thought it would be nice to remove the compressor while im down there.
Question: Can I "simply" remove the compressor and keep using its support for the PS pump mount? It looks like its a few bolts.
Any considerations to doing this such as stiffness or excessive vibration without the comp? maybe it doesnt even drop out like I imagine.
your experience is appreciated.
