Wow! That's awsome. I'll be re-reading this post several times. The alternator on mine is ran off a secondary belt from the power steering : ( Would like to go A/C delete when it comes time for this car to go under the knife again. Been contemplating adding a second battery. Go alternator delete for the ride to work during the day. Put it back on after work at night. Only accessories it would need to run is brake lights during stops and keep the I/P fuel shutoff powered. Shouldn't cycle the batteries to death either (I hope).
