It's a very cheap and easy fix. I did this to my GTI 16v and I had no problem with the belts slipping or anything. Get a 8v pulley for your alternator, with your A/C gone, you just need a total of two belts. One belt runs the crank, P/S pump and the other belt goes from the P/S pump all the way up to the alternator. My belt was a 45.5 inch belt, but most people use a 44.5 inch. *445 or *455 is usually the number on the belt. Make sure the belts are tight and you are ready to go. Make sure the compressor and condensor are out and take out the a/c lines too. Any more questions, email me or the list. They know a lot more than I do though. ;)
