Streetbu, what kind of vehicle did your setup come from? I have an F body setup here that I want to use on my Malibu, and it has an A.I.R. pump on it. Is there an idler pulley bracket that will take the place of the A.I.R. pump?
Pulley and bracket conversion kits???

My setup came off a 95 Silverado with a V6 but the V8 versions are exactly the same. There is plenty of clearance between the ps pump pulley and the steering box too. Not sure about an idler bracket for the f body setup but it wouldn't be very hard to fabricate one...
I think that early of a serpentine/V belt setup was still clockwise rotation but I will use a Edelbrock waterpump anyway. Thanks for the input. Every little bit helps.
axisg, Can you tell me how many ribs your pulley`s have and how wide they are and maybe what the system came off of?
Car is sleeping under a cover until the weather breaks for an absolute rib count. From memory its either 4 or 5 ribs. Rockauto has pics on their site. A visual clue is the Alternators that used flat pullies had the plastic disk style alternator fan instead of the metal one ( but either will work )

My Monte being an 84 came with the vbelts, but 2 friends have had 86+ MCSS and they both had the Flat belts.
Conversion I recall came in around 85 or 86 right up until they utilized the single belt system in the early 90's. I have seen them on Caprice, Camaro, and SBC powered Gbodies but were likely on others.
You need the Alternator, Waterpump, and Crank pullies as a 3 peice set but I assure you it all bolts in place of the older stuffs with no changes to anything else other than fine tuning the alignment. You will also need an impact gun to swap pullies on your existing alternator or make the excuse of it being a good time for a rebuilt 94 amp upgrade to your alternator.
Sure if you posted something in the wanted section that one of our members would have a set they would be willing to part with

I have a March set up on my 81. I had to make a spacer for the power steering bracket but other than that it fits fine.
I got the alternator water pump and crank pulley`s on and it is perfect. I am now trying to mount the power steering and am having a hard time getting things to line up. Will have more maybe the end of today.

If youre using the March stuff and have an Edelbrock pump you might to have to shim the bracket out.
One of my neighbors is a machinist and he made a few different spacers out of aluminum round stock for me. Its gotta be right or the belts going to get chaffed on the edge.
YEP! Thats exactly what I am seeing. The pump is Weind and I think the one mount hole is a little off angle. Thick washer and a grinder.
