I did the alternator into the AC position mod. I don't quite remember who told me how to do it here, but it basically is: 1. Take the AC compressor out 2. Dremel out the drivers side of the bracket where the AC mounted so the alternator will fit. 3. Go to the local hardware store and buy a adjustable turnbuckle with rings. 4. Bolt the alternator in where the AC was, and connect the turnbuckle to the head and the AC. 5. Use the same belt that is already there and turn the turnbuckle untill the belt is tight.
Simple, effective, 1 hour at the most and $3.75 in parts. There are pictures of this somewhere. Search the archives and you will find them.

I currently have a 1.8L 8v "RD" engine without AC and without power steering in my jetta. I bought a 2.0L 16v "6k" engine for next spring. That engine had AC and power steering. I will keep the power steering but not the AC. The pulley set up won't work anymore because the alternator use to be driven by the AC compressor. Maybe I could use the pulleys from my 1.8L and use a longer strap so it would also drive the power steering pump aswell. That's if they all align, haven't checked that yet. Anyone had the same problem that could give me some hints.
