with a/c to no a/c

Morning all,
Removed all the AC components from engine and bay. Do the (2) pipes in the firewall need to be capped or plugged?
Does the engine now need a new fan pulley with (2) grooves, car has power steering.
Thanks

I removed the ac in my 74 and did not cap the pipes, no problem.

Generally the whole pulley system changes without AC .
So you could create an Idler where the A/C compressor was or change the pullys so you have water pump,  alt , crank on one belt & crank , PS on a second belt

The alternator mounting is totally different...grab yourself an alternator bracket kit and a top fan pulley and you're all set, maybe a two groove lower pulley as well.

thanks, does anyone have a photo of the 2nd option?

[anlauto]

There's no such thing as the two groove fan pulley    let me rephrase, E-bodies never used a two groove fan pulley   

[73TopBanana]

anlauto, thanks, am using the same 2 groove alternator and installed the new bracket kit. do you have any photos of a small block with no a/c showing the alternator, fan pulleys and power steering pump?
thanks

Not very good but it's all I could find

ANLAUTO, those are just what i as looking for. i thought the power steering belt went over the upper pulley not the bottom one.
Thanks and have a good rest of day
