Am i missing something here, When i "deleted" my ac i just unbolted it and took off the belt. What one god green earth would spending $36 on a pully that rotates nothing accomplish

Thats for a serpentine belt system, where you can't just "take off the belt". I would think that in most cases, a shorter belt could be used. But you might need a pulley in cases where the vehicles are always A/C stock (its not an option).

For serpentine belted systems it allows you to use a stock OEM serpentine belt instead of a custom ordered one. Also if you delete a serpentine based item it changes the routing of the belt and simply buying a shorter belt might reduce belt contact on certain items leading to belt slippage and premature burnout.

I LOVE air conditioning and I have never understood why people take it off. I was looking at a car that was for sale for my daughter and it had an AC delete pulley, plus the guy had cut the hoses that go to the condenser and the evaporator. I guess if I lived in Antarctica and my compressor locked up, then I could see doing a delete. Or if I were building a racecar maybe I could see it, on the other hand, an air conditioned race car sounds awesome too!
Got a friend with a Mercury capri XR2. It's his pride and joy. He did the same thing - pull the a/c and cut the condenser lines off.
me: "why'd you hack out your a/c?"
him: "it didn't work and it takes power from the engine to run it"
me: "Why not fix it so you can use it, and just keep it off if you want the extra power?"
him: "Because I can't fix it and I don't want to pay someone to fix it" (WI it's illegal to buy a/c recharge kits over the counter)
me: "it was probably just a leaking o-ring. Throw in a new drier, new o-rings and recharge it. I could have even checked it with a leak detector"
him: "but you'd still have to pay someone to charge it"
me: "no, I have the 609 MVAC certification, an assortment of o-rings and about 10lbs of freon left"
him: "DAMNIT!"
now he's usually seen driving a minivan when his g/f is with him.

If the A/C didn't work in the camper, that's what I'd do.
