A Little More Progress
Well, this weekend and tonight I got some stuff done.
Got all my serpentine belt stuff blasted, painted and mounted, came out pretty nice. Then I spent a couple hours tryint to figger out WTF on the belt routing. I eliminated the air pump, bolted it all up and started putting the belt on. 2 hrs and 3 trips to Advanced and it still wasn't working out...Dammit
Then I remembered Gene saying something about an air pump eliminator, WTF is that? Ahhhh, he also said said something about breathless...
Google is a cool tool
So here is what they have
Its a nice bracket and all, but $175? Nay, I don'e think so.
So here is my $20 bracket
Not bad huh?
OK, So all you union welder types don't have to worry about me putting you out od a job
This thing is coming along. Tomorrow I pick up an 83" belt and that part os done.
Pipes are next!!

PERV !!! I noticed that last night but this being a family friendly forum I didnt want to draw attention and get Six banned for life.
Six-is the belt going over that pulley or does it roll on the back side of belt? If it goes over will it stay on it?
Your welding looks better than mine.

Nice work. I got the Breathless Air pump eliminator, but did not pay any $175. Got the C4 AC bracket, ND Compressor, Alternator bracket w/CS130 alternator, and the Breathless part on Ebay as a package deal that was quite reasonable compared to all of the Camaro/TA setups that were on Ebay at the time. Was that the cash you saved laying on the work bench?
