Thermostat question
I don't think it would matter, the serpentine system probably doesn't stick out any further than a stock pulley set up with A/C and power steering. I mean, this is the full system from CVF. The belts are really wide, but there's only two of them. The stock A/C and power steering set up ran 4 belts. And you can see on the water pump pulley that the centering button still sticks out from the pulley, so the face of the water pump pulley isn't any further out. Unless the crank pulley sticks out further (and it shouldn't based on the picture), the fan would end up in the same place as on a car with the stock pulley set up.
