Switching to Serpentine Belt
Switching to Serpentine Belt
Ok. On my 84 Z28, I'm ditching the v-belts in favor of a serpentine belt setup from a 91 Z28. I know the AC compressor, Smog pump, and Alternator need to be the newer style. I already have those. My question is.... Do I also need to update the power steering pump?????
Thanx.

you could go either way, just a matter of what pulleys you get. you could get a crank pulley with a groove for the flat belt and a vee groove. the vee groove would drive the PS pump and the flat groove would drive everything else. it's best when you go swapping pulleys around to get everything they drive and all the brackets and convert your engine to what ever the donner engine was. that way when you need a part you can say i have a xx camaro with a xx engine when you really have a yy camaro with a xx engine.

You will need a new water pump. The serpentine ones turn backwards.

Well I've got the entire serpentine setup. Pulleys, brackets, bolts. Got them on Ebay.
I managed to get the AC compressor & smog pump with them. I know I need the new style alternator. I did know about the water pump.
I just wasn't sure about the PS pump. I do have all of the pulleys required. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't like the water pump (rotating backwards) or the Alternator (new style to fit brackets)
