Hello.

I'm in the process of installing a LFX (2012 Camaro) and 6spd into a 93 Miata. I'm using a G80 LSD diff out of a STS and parts from V8Roadsters for the swap.

I'd like to remove the power steering assembly from the engine and the AC compressor has already been pulled. Do you guys know of anyone that makes a bracket to mount pulleys or have any other ideas for routing a belt with only the water pump and alternator hooked up?

Also, has anyone removed the heater core/ plugged the heater core supply lines? I'd like to remove them and install a plug in the rear of the engine where the hard lines attach.

I'll post some pics if anyone is interested but should be a great track car- looks like it will be right at 1850lbs wet, no driver. Once it's installed and running I'll have it dyno tuned (no cats/ open intake) hoping for 300rwhp.

Thank you!

U can remove the heater core for custom applications to the engines rear water outlets

Regards to power steering if it's not a show car for a presentable look u could just run the p/s pump but remove the interals and maybe fill it with geese or fluid and block off the pump ends

Air compressor could do the same run the compressor just for the pully to be used

How ever I'm sure u would find a belt for just the balancer and water pump /alternator if u measured it up and checked local auto parts supplier

Thank you!

I'm going to try to plug the heater core outlet/ inlet at the block.

I thought about the accessories being gutted or just not hooked up but would prefer a dummy bracket/ pulley to reduce the parasitic affect on the engine, although I'm sure its minor.
The real problem about just not running at all is the tensioner.
