We are helping Aero Motions with the development of the 370 wing, those pics were of the final mock up. The fit and wing positioning are spot on. We should have the final product installed this week, and I would imagine they will be taking orders immediately.

The AC delete is pretty easy. Once you snatch the compressor off replace the stock belt with a Gates K060500. This is a 6 rib belt rather than the stock 7, however it should be fine as it will have no compressor load. Lace the belt through the; power steering, alternator, tensioner and crank pulley normally. Then only use the upper most grooved pulley to complete the loop. We removed the AC side smooth idler and the center ribbed idler as they have no use in this configuration.

We still have some more work to do, but here is the prelim stuff. Coming together really nicely. Still NA at the moment. Initial testing this weekend at Roebling Road.
