Default Serpintine Setup Complete, Part 2

I posted a while back about converting to a serpintine
setup, I used a 91 camaro setup. T/A's and camaro's
are pretty much all the same from 88/91. I had a few
mods to do to make this work, but the results were
the best.Now I have a one belt system, and it looks great
to. I have 33 pictures of all mod's and angles, if someone
would like to post for me, I will answer all questions.

Why not load them to the forums photohost? Just sign up and upload.

BTW, looking forward to seeing your setup. Should be a sweet mod that should free up some hp.

Before TWIN TURBO post the pic's I would like
to say that this was a entire fit up, with very small mods.
1. reroute the fuel line
2. grind on A arm (hardest part)
3. small changes still need addressed

It is a lot cleaner now, and I will be able
to keep my belt on now. No more belt throwing
tonite I will fit the radiator with the fan, (fan from camaro)
I think it cools better.

Looks good! Where did you get the 2 wire alt plug at? Need to get one but can only find the 3 wire kind.

It still is the three wire style. 2 from the plug
and one hot behind the alt, I will just splice the wires.
I did this on my truck, and it worked great, and my
headlights were brighter

diden't you do this same swap?

Yes I am in the process of the serp belt conversion and a t-5 swap. I want to fire up the eng and the plug is one of the last things I need. My 89 formula has just 2 wires coming off the plug and was hoping to find one like it. I am going with no a/c or AIR pump so I have a unique belt routing, will post pics after I get it started.

On the trucks it just routes the (shorter) belt differently. Not sure if you can do that on the F-body too?
