Serpentine belt pics
Im getting ready to start installing a serpentine belt set up. Just about finished removing the existing belts and brackets. Im looking for some pics of serpentine set up, I got a box of parts and some hardware, I started fitting some parts today and Im a little lost in the area of air pump, and a/c. Will the power steering pulley fit at the crossember? Any help woul be great!! HEY MEGALDON DO HAVE ANY PICS OF THIS SET UP?

Here are some pics of my setup, but it's not installed in my Vette yet. I have heard the power steering pulley will fit, but it's close. I have also heard the crank pulley clears the cross member, but again, I don't know for sure.
Here is what it looks like with the A/C delete and smog delete.
...and here are my updates version sans A/C delete and smog delete plus another alt.

DB, does the a/c / air pump bracket use a stud off the front of the exhaust manifold? I also got a smog delete pulley, Im confused on the belt routing smog and a/c pulleys are both ribbed?

The brackets bolt only to the head and to the lower two bolt holes down above the oil pan.
No bolts are going to the exhaust manifold.
The A/C pump cup has three bolts, so the delete uses the two long through bolts at the wide points only. The smog pump also used two bolts, but it's going to have to be flipped around so it faces inward leaving room so it won't hit the upper A-arm. You will have to clearance the smog delete pulley a little to get it to line up just right while it's in backwards.
If I wanted to hook up the heater core, I would remove the plug in the top of the pump, and use that and a nipple from the manifold to route coolant to the core. Since I have an LT1 manifold, there are two nipples at the rear that I could do this with even though I will plug those and not use the core at all.
