Default Renix A/C delete

So I live in Oregon where you never need to turn on the A/C and I bought my XJ from a guy that took the lines out but left the compressor and the condensor so I'm just going to finish the job. Only problem is I am having trouble finding the bypass/delete pulley for 87-90 4.0 Renix. Mines an 88. I have been sitting her on google for over an hour now!!! Anyone have some tips? Morris4x4, Quadratec and RockAuto do not have them on their websites.

Ya I have to see this. It would be nice to have it mounted there for easy replacement in the future. If you can, could you give me a step by step on this?

I have an 87. What I did was I went to the junkyard. Got a clutch fan bracket from a HO motor. (same bracket that holds compressor) then I went to orielys and got a AC delete bracket for a 91 and newer Cherokee. The bearing for the clutch fan is pressed into that bracket and mine was squeaking anyway so I needed a new bracket.
