Hey guys, I uploaded a pic of a TBI 350, and was wondering what the crazy pulley setup (marked by the red arrow) is. Does this engine have its powersteering on the drivers side?

thanks!

Your point to the tensioner. The pump gets mounted to the serpentine bracket below the alternator .

Re: New to 350s

I realize I pointed to one of the pulleys, but I was wondering what the combination of pulleys is there for. I'm assuming its the smog pump and associated pulleys. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong

Re: New to 350s

Im not sure ex actually what you are asking, are the serpentine brackets off a c/k platform or a f/b ?
If its off the 88-92 f and b body the air pump is mounted below the air compressor. There are two different style of delete pulleys a idler like this picture or the export model style that uses a 6 grove pulley gm 10186167.

Thanks for posting that picture! That really helped me figure out whats going on in that area. I see know that the air conditioning unit sits on the top left side of the engine, and air pump sits below it.

Just for clarification, I didn't know what the air compressor was.
Thanks!
