190E M103 2.6 fan bearing bracket delete need belt length
 
I am looking to delete the fan bearing bracket which has 2 pulleys on it so I can mount a larger electric fan. I need to know if anyone knows the belt length that I would need to run to compensate for the loss of the larger and smaller pulleys?

I don't think your belt will have a straight shot from the tensioner to the alternator without the bearing bracket pulley in place. On the off chance that the belt will clear the crank pulley you will have significantly less belt engagement on the alternator pulley. Additionally the lower bolt on the drivers side of the bracket is shouldered and seals an o-ring against oil leaking out the timing cover.

Anything is possible but this doesn't strike me as a great idea. Addressing the cooling system problem(s) which may not even be airflow related will likely be much simpler than re-inventing the wheel.
