Default A/C Delete Pulley Kit?

I have a 92 SSE with the L67. I'm curious if anyone makes an A/C delete kit? Intense sells one for the Series 2 engines, but I'd like to get one for mine since the A/C doesn't work and now the pulley is acting up. Thanks.

I am not sure you actually need a "kit". I know several people that have simply used a shorter belt on a Northstar to bypass the compressor. Remove the belt and run a string or a ribbon around the pullies, bypassing the compressor. If you can do that without interference from the compressor, measure the string and get a belt of that size. Don't forget to take into account the movement of the tensioner.

You can't do that on a series 1, I already looked into it.
