Default Serpentine belt kit

Has anyone installed March SPORT TRACK "ALL INCLUSIVE" sys.
I know the cross member will need to be notched for lower pulley
Looking for input
Thanks

I looked at March, Zoops, and Tru-Trac. Found a super deal on the Billet Specialties Tru-trac on Amazon that was about 700 bucks cheaper than some of the prime vendors. I love the way it is tucked in close to the block and doesn't have the big winged brackets. Installed very easy in about 2 hours.

It was about 1600 bucks in the end (on amazon). the kit includes everything forward of the timing chain cover including the water pump, power steering pump (without reservoir), tensioner, 105 Amp alternator, all pulleys, belt and mounting studs and associated spacers, nuts and bolts. I really like it. The PS res is a cylindrical looking chrome tube that is pretty sweet looking. you can mount it wherever you want and run lines to the actual pump but like I mentioned earlier, you have to order it separately for about 100 dollars. I didn't even think about it because when I saw the PS pump was included, I thought it would be your typical pump with the res built in. When they say pump, that's all you get . Still a good deal though.
