here is a pic of my engine but i cant figure out what type of power steering pump i have...I want to get a new bracket so i can run only a serpentine belt. Is it signaw/signaw-p/GM type 2? Anyone know where i can pick up a full conversion kit instead of piecing it together?

 

If you're thinking of factory serpentine brackets - keep what you have! They are bulky, big, ugly. I just removed my factory serpentine brackets and installed what you have now, because I didn't like the big ugly bulky brackets. Plus, if you swap to factory serpentine setup, you'll have to get a different alternator and water pump - alternator doesn't have the right bolt holes in the right location for a factory serpentine setup, and your water pump is a standard rotation whereas a factory serp is reverse rotation. The power steering pump is the same for all years, just mounts a little differently.

If not wanting factory serp setup, about only other options are March or Billet Specialties setups - but at $1200+ for the pretty bracket sets, I didn't see it as being worth it.

 

ok ill keep what i have but i have these huge ugly brackets...should I just build my own instead of buying a set? Up here at school I have access to a welder, metal, and powder coating. Im not looking for one of those rediculously overpriced setups. I can't believe how much they get for those things!!

 

you already have the best cheapest brackets available - trust me - the serp brackets from factory look way worse than your pic - I had them, and I switched to exactly what you have in that pic, and I love it. No need perfromance wise or for any other reason to change what you got - you already have serp belt on alternator, crank, waterpump - those are the important ones - v belt on the p/s won't hurt anything, and is fullt functional as is - I'd leave it alone personally.
