Vortech Question Please

I used to have an a-trim blower on my car, then an s-trim (this one got stolen) Now I emailed vortech and they said that I needed a reverse rotation clockwise blower, but i talked to a friend and he said thats only for LT1 and newer. Im lost.. all I want to know is if the impeller on your blower system for vortech curves to the right or the left. IE does the impeller turn clockwise or counter clockwise! thank you!!!

if you could post a pic even better, if not thanks anyways

I sound like such an amateur

All TPI vortech blowers.. well all blowers that mount to the driver's side anyways rotate clockwise with the crank. At least at the pulley. Now internally, I do not know. BW
