AC/Smog/Tensioner Bracket Removed

Thought I would post up some pictures on what I did for a belt tensioner. I wanted to remove the stock serpentine bracket because the only thing that was going to used was the tensioner.

Thanks. Looks pretty good. A little expensive for what I plan to do with the car, so I may just end up being ugly with a ac delete pulley and no smog pump.

Re: AC/Smog/Tensioner Bracket Removed

I am interested in this conversion. What serpentine belt are you using with your set up?

Re: AC/Smog/Tensioner Bracket Removed

I like how the bracket and spacers work to contain your wires and hoses.

But it is hard to tell from the picture and even Jegs description - is it actually a spring-loaded tensioner?
