power to manual steering belt routing?

[SirDan]

I have read up a bunch on power to manual steering and I am almost ready to swap over. But I see one issue, getting rid of the power steering belt means nothing will spin my water pump! This is a 73 318 A/c car. One belt goes from the crank to the water pump to the P/S pump. Then there is a double belt setup that runs from the crank to the A/c to the alternator. I can't find any pictures of how belts would be routed on a A/c manual steering car. Was that an impossible option combination? Do i need to make my own tensioner? any help is appreciated.

Smaller belt from the crank straight to the water pump?

But there would be no tensioner. Ive seen them run them on the dyno like that but, id rather not throw a belt and get stranded or end up with a horrible belt squeal noise.

Hahaha, i didnt even think of that,its been a long day!:-s

There was an idler pulley and bracket for manual steering with AC. I've only seen one

So I guess im better off making some kind of tensioner.
