Default Serpentine Belt Kit

I am thinking of using this GM kit on my 78 which has 350, vortec heads and electric fans.
http://sdparts.com/details/gm-perfor...parts/12497698

My AC pump is leaking out of everywhere including the shaft, water pump has some play and makes noise.

Has anyone used this kit and will the crankshaft pulley clear the cross member?

Looks like it sticks up very high. Not sure it would clear our hoods.

Many have used this kit, the air pump delete pulley on the passenger side needs to be flipped over to clear.

I used a setup from an 89' Firebird.

You might want to check ebay. You can get used sets including the AC comp/PS pump and alt for a couple hundred bucks. I did....

Don't know if you saw this but if you click on the photo of the SD setup, it offers a diagram with dimensions.
