Hey I found a good deal on a 1.6TD engine a guy was going to use for a samurai project but never got around to it. The engine came pretty complete other than a few minor things such as an alternator.
I was wondering if this alternator bracket/pulley setup is for use with an A/C compressor or not? Because if not I was wanting to use it to remove my A/C setup on my pickup. Thanks
Looks like the MK2 bracket, IIRC they were the same bracket for both a/c and non a/c. The difference was in the alt and pulleys.
Yup MK2. Same as what my 88 non ac looks like.
Getting my spare low mileage Eco engine to run on the ground. Here's what the ac bracket looks like. I wire brushed the p/n so hopefully it is legible.
MK2 AC and non AC main bracket is the same.
MK2 AC and non AC main bracket is the same.
how is the alternator and the tensiner different AC vs non AC?

The AC alternator mounts the tensioning bracket in a different location allowing the alternator to be up, rather than down. I'm not sure exactly what the tensioner mounts to, I haven't seen an AC setup in a while (thankfully)
What does the non AC alt tensioner look like and how does it work? Is it klugy like the AC alt tensioner?
It looks like this
I also have this cogged adjuster but wasn't sure how it worked so thanks for the picture. I'm able to get a reman non A/C alternator from the parts store. So if I'm reading this all right, seems with the bracket , adjuster and 65a non AC alternator it should be all I need to get rid of my AC compressor.
I was wondering how the belt setup worked tho, I see there is two ribs on my crank pulley?
You will probably need different pulleys to make it all happen. I'm not 100% on that though.
Check the FAQ fora for non-AC conversion and you will find out alot about how to use that bracket for a non-AC setup.
