TB Air ducting issue...

In the process of my motor swap, i did an A/C and SMOG pump delete, and in order to keep the belt routing the same i put a ribbed pulley on the tensioner and routed it as shown. The problem is i now have a cleanarance problem with the throttle body rubber "boot." Does anyone know of a boot or ducting that has a 45 degree or 90 degree bend right after it attaches to the TB, or any EASY way to fabricate one? I'm really tired of making custom parts, so an aftermarket product would be preferable. Thanks for any help!

I did a big thing about how to route the belt, and I found that the answer is to go from the AC to the tenisoner to the water pump, and then back to the alt. sounds funny, but it works, I think that the thread was called "those with under drive pullys" I also ( in the thread ) explaned how to eliminate the smog pump if you can do it in your state. hope this helps, and I know that this will give you the clearence you need, and no new parts, good luck
