I'm installing a 93 Vette LT1 into my 75, it was going kind of smoothly until I tried the sepentine belt. The belt as it comes to the A/C hits the control arm rod. The control arm has 4 thick spacers to get it into alignment. I wonder if I replaced the control arms with the aluminum or heavy duty would this correct the rubbing?

adjustable control arms get rid of the shims. did have to shorten bolts on both sides

Is there a smaller idler pulley that can be used.

that's what I did....then I used spacers under the A/C compressor mounting points to remove the belt slack caused by the smaller idler pulley.
