[DeTomaso] Air conditioner belt replacement

[Guido deTomaso]

I took the crankshaft pulley off, got the smallest belt that would fit and put 
it and the pulley back on together.  That way the slack side is at a very small 
angle at the tensioning pulley / low load on that pulley.  Eventually removed 
the tensioning pulley altogether.  Didn't zing it or put it on eBay, it's just 
riding the pine for now.

Clarke,

While you have the cover off, replace the alternator belt too. The
alternator belt will have to come off to allow the AC belt to be
replaced anyway. I recently had to replace the idler pulley bearing
(after 10 years). The AC belt had not been replaced in that time.

Remove the passenger seat, the bulkhead cover, then the bulkhead
itself...there it is.

After you switch it out, drive a bit with just the bulkheqad cover on,
let
it get hot and then retighten the belt

and button it back up.
