Small Block Pulleys
Okay so I know I made a thread about this, but I think I found out a solution. Well It works, but I'll see what other people think about it. If they don't like it maybe I'll rethink what I'm doing. I was just messing around to try and make it work.
I'm in the same boat you are, I wanted to get rid of the ac unit to clean up under the hood. So I was experimenting with some belt combination and I think I found out one that works. The belt I used was the exact same one that is used on the power steering pump so its shorter than it would be with the A/C, I didn't change the location of that belt went and I didn't touch any of the pulleys, the only thing I changed was the belt routing. There is about an inch of clearance between the belt that goes under the water pump.
So my belts go crank directly to the alternator and the crank to the water pump to the power steering (Stock belt routing anyways).
Somebody chime in if they think this is a bad idea, because like I said I was only experimenting.
Just bear with me here I'm trying to upload the images. Just having some issues lol
