The answer to this is a tough one because i've thought about this before but it looks like theres too much interference with the rack & pinion. I don't think theres anything you can do to make it work honestly.
BTW,look at any summit book and look for the weiand 142/144 and 177 blowers. Then look at the bottom of that section and note,it will say will not fit 84-96 corvettes due to clearance reasons.

My Thoughts were ditch the serpentine setup..go with an 1 1/4 " 2v drive pulley ...I've got an electric W/P an only need alt and P/S belting..That should give me clearence on the cross member and the racknpinion ..maybe an 1 1/2"-1 3/4 with a cut down blower pulley spacer...Got an 8" snout along with the nine...If I could fit the drive pulley spacer in the crank pulley I would only be short about a 1/2"-3/4 for the blower pulley fitting in right now....Anyway It looks good on paper...Any ideas ??
