I want to remove the air conditioning pump and associated hoses. It doesn't work, and up here in the frozen north it isn't really needed.
Is there a way to reroute a shorter belt or do I need a pulley to replace the pump.
Is there anything I shouldn't take out that is part of the air system?

Pulley will be needed... why don't you turn it into on board air then

Yeah if you off road it i would turn it in to on board air,If not look up the belts see if they sell a none ac belt or not for it.

I'm wanting to simplify this rig as much as I can, so I want to get rid if stuff I don't need. How does a factory setup work that doesn't have air.
Belt length isn't the problem its how to route the belt so every thing works.

This bracket/pulley replaces the compressor to keep the same belt length/routing.

Doe anybody know if XJs could be ordered without air conditioning in 94?

Found a diagram for the belt routing without air conditioning that doesn't require another pulley.
Now to find a belt.
