I need a pic of the routing for a non AC v6 car. Please somebody

 

give me a minute and i'll go take a pic

 

Ya know; I had a picture that someone drew for me... can't find it on my computer. I'd like to see that picture too! (Someday I may swap to serpentine drive so I can use an underdrive pulley set)

 

i can tell you what it is, since i just redid my computer. from the crank, the belt goes around the p/s pulley, straight across to the tensioner, around the outside of the alternator, to the waterpump and down to the crank. this may not be too clear, but i havent put the pics back on my computer yet, sorry if this isnt too clear.

 

ah my cam won't work, but hes right, it goes alternator smog crank back around water pump over power steering , then tensioner

 

Are these close?

 

Belt routing for a 2.8 serp.

 

Here is the factory label showing belt routing with AND without smog pump. 1987's did not have smog pumps.

 

Thanks for the label pic! That doesn't make sense then for a non-ac car; if it goes right from the p/s to the tensioner, doesn't the belt rub against the water pump belt that goes the other way?

Or did non-ac, serp belted cars have their p/s pump mounted higher?

'Cause going by Dean's pic of his engine, if there was no a/c, I don't see how the belt can go straight from p/s to tensioner.

You can actually see my confusion in my ultra-bad drawings... looks like the belt will rub against itself above the water pump.

 

You are correct Tom, If it is a NON A/C car it still has to run a dummy pulley in place of the A/C compressor. There is no way to run the belt from the tensioner directly to the powersteering pump pulley without it rubbing.

I have a GM A/C delete pulley on my Chev truck that will work on the 2.8 A/C compressor mount. That GM A/C delete pulley was a factory option for the IROC 350 cars. I someone wants, I will take a pic of it and supply the part #.

 

Thanks for the pics. Got it now.

 

on my 88, there is no A/C, but there isnt a dummy pulley. it comes close to the waterpump pulley, but does not rub on it. there is an inch or two of clearance

 

same here, tight fit but no rub

 

tomp, I just noticed that bottom drawing, w/o smog is wrong.

It goes from the alt, down to crank, then up to wp, then over to ps.

 

Ah, gotchya; I guess with my drawing, the ribs are facing the wrong way AND I've reverse-rotated the water pump!

I'll have to correct that drawing so nobody uses it by accident... maybe I'll even make it pretty.
