I wrote a tech article about re-routing your serpentine belt, but I don't know who to send it to. I have the article uploaded to my site at http://www15.brinkster.com/fbody/belt.html but I can zip the whole thing and email it if needed.

cool, so you can use the same belt right?

any difference noticed?

 

You can't use the same belt, you have to use a 98 inch belt which is a couple inches longer than the stock belt.

 

I've always wondered where the AIR Pump was.....

Can you by chance post a pic of the routing where the pump is removed??

The one on the main site is weird....

Pics of routing are at the link.

Also, by re-routing the belt in this manner, it makes it easier to remove the smog pump. I do not know what size belt would be needed with no smog pump however, so you would have to experiment in order to get the right belt length/tension.
