guys, how about rather than berating him about how wrong his decision is, we help him act on it.
Tim, as far as PS and AC go, so long as your AC isn't charged you should be able to just unbolt it and throw it in a box for if you ever want to put it back on. Power steering, you should atleast put some oil in the gearbox, to keep it lubricated, then run a hose between the pressure and return, and clamp them together. There shouldn't be any pressure so I don't see why it shouldn't work.
now I'm not familiar with 1jz belt routings but if you can manage to get the belt around with all the puley lining up with the proper side of the belt (smooth to outside, grooved to inside). If you can do this, take a piece of string run it around the pulleys in the proper way, mark it, measure it. Now I'll explain the belt number system.
ok, every serpentine belt has 2 critical numbers, the first is the width of the belt (# of splines) the second is the length. Now the spline number will generaly be between 4 and 7, and if the number is primarily numbers, such as 0000000000 it tends to be towards the front of the part number, however if the belts part number features both letters and numbers, such as 0000xx00 the width number will nearly always be immediatly after the letters (which signify the breaking point.
now the second critical measurement (the length) in a completely numerical part number will be the last series of number (the measurement is normally in inches, plus decimals, so there will often be a trail of 0's after the part number)
the letter-numeric system the length will normally come before the letter break.
so for example, a 6 spline wide belt that's 86.5" long will probably have a part number something like "40608650" or by the alternate system "8650k6"
