WTB: Alternator For 83 Rabbit 1.6D w/AC

Post by DrAnonymous »

Is it possible to use an alternator that came with the non A/C version and just swap the pulley?

I suppose it's possible.
There's a post on here about converting a AC car to non-AC.
A search under my name would narrow down the topics to search through.

Sometimes it just requires a special custom adjuster bracket.

I'll check on that. Thanks!

I forgot to put in my post, that I'm trying to buy the right alternator used.

If someone has the other one, I'm curious if it can be swapped.
