Guy's w/elec. water pump?
Can anyone tell me what you did with the Heater Hose that goes in the side of the Water Pump? Also will the Bracket that holds the Air Cond. and Tensioner bolt right back up after the Elec. Water Pump is installed? THANKS FOR THE HELP

Looking at my EWP (Proform ) if the A/c bracket did physically clear
then you would need spacers to make up the difference in height where the bracket sits on the pump mounting bolts.

Thanks for the Reply's Guy's I wanted to just use the crank, power steering , alt. and over the air pump delete pulley and leave out the air cond. alltogether. It might be tough trying to route the belt straight down after coming over the air pump delete pulley. I'll do a search also on this. THANKS Pipe

Why are you going to EWP?
IF you don't need a EWP can use normal rotation long pump with adjustable alt brace.
Belt runs pump - crank - PS - alt.
Does away with air pump eliminator and A/c completely.
nice and clean ; plenty of access.

Saw your question on the ac bracket, It is definately not bolt-on. We had to modify the area where the bolts go through to work with the electric pump.
Measure from the block out, the distance where the bolts/nuts are located using the stock pump. Then you have to be sure the bracket and bolts are in the same location when using the electric water pump.
PS. I put another pulley on the air delete bracket to offset the loss of the water pump pulley. I have AC with the electric pump.
