UPDATE: EDIT Added
I forgot a step of adding the PS Fluid and the part number we need - Our Vettes use a Synthetic Fluid and none of the stores had it, so I had to go to the GM Dealership
This marked as 19A on the third (#3) post!
19A. Make sure you add POWER STEERING FLUID and follow the instructions of turning the steering 20 times back and forth (It is in our Drivers Handbook on how to do this)- Our manuals call for a Synthetic PS Fluid, I could not find any anywhere so I went over to the local GM Parts dealer and got a Pint for $13
GM Part # 89020661

You can remove the bolts w/o removing the pulley, Ive done it many times on my car (changing heads) and a quite a few other cars. It takes little turns a time but is possible.

I tried with a couple of different wrenches and just couldn't get that Turkey off, Maybe it felt at that point "IMPOSSIBLE"
Thanks for the input Hopefully I'll never have to try it again
Thanks,Matt

Ya they can be a pain in the butt some times. In your case with having the ABS in back your method was probably easier anyways.

Matt,
Great write up. I don't see anything about this kit that keeps it from being ussed with a Maggie. You are great to include corrected belt sizes and all.
This may go on my Must have list!

Me Too!
I went ahead and decided to go over the Radiator with the Air Inlet Tube before the Dyno - I have the stuff on its way as I write - I got it from another forum member form a good price
I will keep my Airbridge and use the pipe from the ProCharger to the front as seen in the pic below:
From:
I have the brackets coming from A&A to slide the radiator down a bit in order to go up and over - man this is getting real interesting - One of these days I "MUST" stop
Thanks,Matt

I mean all the pulleys line up in the same way (Meaning in line) on any belt driven SuperCharager.
Keep us posted when you do yours and maybe a write up too
Thanks,Matt

Maybe I will bolt in on my forged motor before I install and not have to crawl under. Now you got me wondering about that alternator pully. I don't remember it looking like yours.

I just realized you are in VACAVILLE CA, My Grandmother lives there and my wife, daughter and myself were just up there visiting my Grandmother in the Hospital (Cancer)!
We will be making another trip in a couple of weeks to see her again!
Where is your shop? Send me the info address and or Phone number (Here or PM me) and I can swing by
Thanks,Matt
