well depending on what year thirdgen and engine u have.
but on my 91 350 tpi
take the pulley first, then unbolt the two bolts that hold the pump in, unbolt the metal tube going to the back of the pump and now the pump should be on the ground.
and rest is just unplugging the air hoses going from the top of the manifolds to the black box, disconnect and tape away the connectors.
after that u need to plug the two holes some how in the manifolds.
once that stuff is out, i had to use an older serpentine belt routing and get a 2 inch bigger belt than stock for my car.
my routing goes like this.
over a/c pulley, under tensioner, over and around alternator, under power steering, up and over water pump,under and around crank and back to over the a/c pulley.
