1981 Belt Diagram
I can't figure out how to run all the belts. I have both AC and smog pump, and there doesn't seem to be enough pulleys to run both. The previous owners changed some things around, so it's not stock.. So I have a disconnected air pump, and a spare pulley that would fit on the water pump (4 holes for bolts) with one groove in it. The pulley currently on the water pump has 2 grooves.
All the diagrams and pictures I've seen show the smog pump but not the AC compressor.

Re: 1981 Belt Diagram (Enkil)
Okay, so, I decided, since I actually still have the owner's manual, why not look in that? Seems like a good place to put a diagram. And voila! It was there. It's not often one gets to tell themselves to RTFM.
Anyways, here's the diagram for others that may need it:
Also, there's not enough belt grooves in the water pump to run three accessories, mine only has 2. I have that other one-grooved pulley as I said before and I was wondering, is the pulley supposed to have three grooves, or do the two pulleys piggeyback together? I don't exactly have any other corvettes laying around to compare them to.
