Getting rid of the A/C Compressor

[SolarSteve]

Pull the compressor and front adjuster bracket.
 Rotate the alternator downward.
 get a dual pully from a '97 Ford truck,.. that will get it out there far enough.
 I had to grind on the bracket some, so I could rotate the alternator downward farther and use a shorter belt.

Then, for the adjuster:
Bolt an adjuster bar from a '91 Golf gasser to your alternator,..
 and use your (cut down) upper adjustment bracket to bridge from this bracket to the stock alternator bracket.

... and it's still 90 amps.
 Easier to do a search on vwdieselparts.com, using my name,.. or it was recently brought back up and there are several links in a thread.
 Done several years ago and is still running great.

This sounds like its right up my alley!  Thanks for posting, now I will begin gathering parts.

Could you be a little more specific about finding your post about this on vwdieselparts.com.  You have posted in thousands of threads and after about an hour of searching I still did not find it.  I did read a thread that you posted in that might have gotten me close, I think it was this mod that you were posting about and told the OP that you tried to find your own post on this but it was gone.  Not sure if this was what I was looking for or not...

Thanks
