Eliminated all my passenger side pullies

I only have 4 pullies now. Crank, P/S, alt, and water pump. The left side A/C and smog and tensioner are gone completely. The extra room is incredible. I can get to the water pump hose so easy, along with everything else. Since most people who run an a/c delete pully already have gotten rid of their smog pump this seems like a easier, cheaper, and more spacious way to go.
The belt I used is 3 tenths short of 51 inches
The bolt gets pulled tight to the bracket but doesn't go thorugh the stock bolt hole. It goes on the outside of the bracket. Thus no tensioner needs to be made.

Sorry no pic. Cars 50 miles away on jackstands. I only work on it on weekends. Scanner's 50 miles away with car, but the computer is right here in front of me
Not sure what else you want to know. I completely removed the passenger side bracket. The lower two bolt may have to be put back in the block as they may go in to the mechanical fuel pump area. Not sure but I left them.
Other then that you take a 50 and 7/10's inch serpintine belt and go in the stock location and then just from the crank back under the water pump to the alternator.

Right, but how does this setup allow you to set the tension on the belt? Do you just use a prybar on the belt to get it on, or??

I said the alt bolt goes on the outside of the bracket not through the hole. So to put the belt on you just have the alt tight in its stock position. When the belt is on pull the alt tight and put the bolt through outside the bracket. Perfect tension on mine.

If you have all of your loading one just one side of the crank/water pump, etc. you might damage the bearings!!

Maybe consider putting your alt. or something where the A/c or smog pump went.

Just my $0.02 !!

The way the factory setup is from the crank to the water pump its all to one side already.

Gracias senor. Makes sense now .

Also, I don't think it will affect bearing life either.....

Oh, nice work on this too
