ABF Conversion - Crakshaft Pulley

Hello all

Just prepping for an ABF swap into my mk1 cabby

The ABF came with air con - which I have deleted along with the power steering too,

Im swapping the water pump pulley for ribbed type off an 8v mk3, but……

The Crankshaft pulley still have the V belt pulley part attached - do I need to remove and swap this out for clearance on the chassis leg or can I get away with leaving it - does the v belt part of the pulley provide balance/dampening?

I see it can be split but it looks a bit crusty (i'm changing out the fixing bolts anyway) and don't want to end up with a knackered pulley - crank wheel off anything else fit - non PS KR possibly?

Any advice appreciated

Thanks

the vbelt pulley can be binned if you like, its not needed. iirc there are no issues with clearance but its been a few years since I've owned a mk1…

best to take the crank pulley off anyway as you'll want to put a new timing belt on

Cheers - need to dig out the plus gas and the hammer!

Its not long had a belt and all the usual seals done by last owner (although I'm doing them again as there is an oil leak)  - although the crank sensor o ring is torn up

Anyone know if the o ring can be gotten seperate?

if its that badly stuck just leave it, you dont want to put much heat into them as they have a rubber damper, and i dont think it will enjoy being heated up lol
