I need some help. Ive had my camaro now for a few years and its been sitting because I blew the engine one day. The thing I need help with is all the mounting brackets for the alternator, smog pump, and power steering pump. A few years ba ck i had someone else start the engine swap because he owed me money and he didnt have any. Well the guy removed everything and then he moved away. Now I cant figure out how the brackets go and the hilton book i have isnt much help either. Can someone post some pictures of the locations of the brackets or give me a location on the net that can help me with the brackets. The car was originally a 305 and has a non-serpentine setup for the belts.

 

I KNOW ITS NOT A GOOD SOURCE BOOK OVER ALL BUT THE HAYNES BOOK HAS SOME GREAT PICS THAT YOU CAN GO BY

 

I was under the impression that all '88s had the poly-V belt installation, and not separate V-belts. Is this a conversion?

 

I might be mistaken about the year, it might be a '87. Ive had this car sitting for like 4 years because of my lazyness. Had a engine for it for like 3 of those 4 years. Finally got to putting the engine in like 2 weeks ago and now i cant figure out how the brakets go. Wish it had the serpentine setup, looks so much easier to figure out.

 

Vader,

On my 87 I have 3 v-belts, and one serp belt that goes around the crank pulley, water pump, and alternator.

 

Hey thanks for the picture. gonna help me on the side with the alternator and smog pump. Is that black bracket ontop of the alternator bolt onto the corner of the runner? How does the other side go? is the a/c compressor above the power steering pump? thats the area where im kinda confused. Im not gonna bother putting the a/c back in for now. just need to figure out how the powering steering pump goes. One more question to add to this. Can i drop the engine in with all that stuff bolted to it or should i wait till its in the car?

 

I'll have to pull the air cleaner snorkel to get any more pics. I'll try and get that done tomorrow.

The alt. bracket does use a runner bolt on the back of it. And the AC pump is directly above the PS pump.

 

Ok, took a a little longer than I thought to get the pic, but I hope this helps.
