My NY was factory AC equipped. I will not be hooking the factory AC back up on this car. Instead, I plan on (in the future when I have more $$$) retrofitting the AC with a new Sanden compressor. My heater box is in the process of being rebuilt (by myself.)
Question is, I know there are some differences now in my belt orientation since I won’t be running an AC.
I have access to both styles of alternator bracket
Non-AC
WITH AC
Because the original setup utilizes an extra pulley (that won’t be used since not running the compressor) - simply doing away with the bracket won’t be that easy since now I will need some type of spacer for the alternator bracket that attaches to the pulley and into the water pump. So I was able to purchase the Non AC setup for a very good price. Knowing that this setup was for use without AC I figured it might be easier to use just that.
I know the water pump pulley is smaller, so I’ll need to probably get a smaller belt.
Thinking of running my belts just like this
Is there an issue with this on my setup? Steering pump is a large TRW with a flapper bracket. Crank has a 4 groove pulley. My alternator is 2 groove.
I tend to overthink things and go through many different scenarios in ny head but I just want to make sure I’m not hurting the engine or any of the accessories on it! I appreciate any help, info and suggestions. You are all truly what’s been keeping me busy with this New Yorker. Can’t wait to post that anticipated “SHE’S ALIVE” thread
