Also, when you go to replace it, you will find that you can't remove the mounting bolts all the way from the pump while the pulley is still on the shaft. That's no problem, just leave the bolts with the pump and then transfer them, along with the pulley, to the new pump while you're at the autoparts store (they should have the proper installer tool on-hand).
Good luck!

I bought a shorter belt and bypassed the vacuum pump. I now have very little brakes and no AC. But at least I can drive it to get a pump somewhere. I have been to all the parts stores here and they do not have it. They sent me to the Ford House and they want $285 + tax for it not including the pulley. What a joke. I found one in a junk yard for $100 on the other side of Houston about 70 miles away. But thats my choices.
Thanks for all the replys though. You were right about the brakes and Vent. Is there any way to manually open my vent to get AC?
