Negative, idler sits in a different spot between the AC and non-AC accessory bracket. The non-AC belt is 88.5" and you need 89.5-90.5" when removing the AC pump but still using the AC bracket. Simply ask for a belt for a 2010 Tacoma with a 2.7 and AC to get a 90" 7 rib belt.

Looking at the photo of the 2000 5.9 engine it appears that the idler pulley is missing.
The 95 5.9 has the idler pulley located exactly where the thread hole is located not covered by blue paint just above the WP casting.
Your photo shows a much simpler design.
And will work for me,
Thanks.

I hope you continued reading the thread....

Yes my idler was not put back on in that picture. I assure you that it is installed.

Here is an idea, instead of removing the A/C (If you decide you do not want it) turn it into something you can use, say On-board air? I run an A/C pump on every Jeep I build for off road. Just to air up tires and use air tools. With the old 60's style A/C pumps (used into the 80's) you can run a constant 80-90 psi (with a back up tank). I sometimes make air tank nurf bars or rear bumpers. Just throwing out some food for thought.

I am sure you can. I would have to research it. All you need is the air compressor shut off/on and a oil separator with a pop off valve. Really quick and simple. It has been about 10 years since I installed one but, it is really a simple process. The compressor just pumps up the pressure. You need a tank to hold it. The key here is making sure you do not over heat the system. Freon lubricated the pump with A/C installed. Without Freon, you need to make sure the pump has an inside oiling system or a reservoir.

Problem with using the A/C compressor as an on board air compressor is the lack of oiling. The A/C compressor gets it's oil from the refrigerant.

This is the type of compressor I usually use:

Yep, these are the York compressor. I just gave 3 of these away I had laying around.

I know they use one similar to ours but, may not be the exact same. The key, they have to have some internal oiling capability.
