Default Belt question

If I remove my airconditioning compressor and put a shorter belt on do I need to adjust anything else? I would assume everything would stay the same with a shorter belt and it would not cause the components to spin faster. Is that correct?

Correct, no problem, but make sure the rest of the accesories spin in the right direction

this might be a dumb question but will the belt clear everything if you just remove the a/c and smog pump then use a shorter belt. It seems likb the belt might rub but i dunno w/out going out and looking at my car.

ok i have another thought isn't the a/c braket shared w/ the power steering so you can't remove the bracket. If so do any of the delete kits allow you to remove the bracket too?
