    You just get the pulley and bearing? Or has pulley mounting bracket?

    Aftermarket. Just new pulley and bearing as an assembly. I pressed out the old bearing out of the original pulley and managed to bend the pulley slightly before it pressed out. Didn't even notice it was bent until I installed it on engine. I was just at a salvage yard a few days ago and removed one from a 78K mile Spirit to get to the timing belt covers. I wished I saw this before the trip, I would have purchased it for OP. Couldn't have been more than a few bucks at pick-n-pull.

    Found one in the garage.
    I'm now using the 93 a/c compressor, which uses a different size tensioner pulley.

    Wayne is showing what I needed... The bracket is the part you can't get on the aftermarket...

    I have one coming thanks to Force Fed Mopar.

    Re: AC tensioner bracket

    Cool. I wasn't sure if you meant this, or the compressor bracket.

    Re: AC tensioner bracket

    There are few different pulley brackets. The differences are in the offset for pulley alignment. There are a couple different diameter pulleys as well. I think the earlier cars had small diameter pulleys and the later one had the larger one.

    Re: AC tensioner bracket

    i have a bracket with pulley from a 90 daytona 2.5

    I tig welded the adjuster nut on it because it snapped off, so now its super strong and will last forever

    The one i have pictured there was used with the 89 compressor/alternator mounting bracket.

    The '93 model used a different compressor (when they switched to R134a) and used a different mounting bracket, and a different tensioner pulley and bracket.
    The pulleys are different sizes too.

    Are you going to SDAC?
    If you need i can toss both in the car to bring for you. Mini's original a/c compressor bracket was trimmed up by Gus, so it couldn't accept an a/c compressor anymore, but i think i have a correct bracket from a parts vehicle. Just let me know.

    No, i have the '89 model bracket and tensioner as spare from converting to the newer R134a system.
    I got mine off a 93 minivan with 2.5 tbi i found in a yard. It was the only 4cyl gen 2 van they had at the time.
