A&A bracket question
So all my parts have arrived, except for my head unit( 
). Anyway, I've been looking at the bracket, and cant quite figure something out. In the pictures on A&As site it shows the bracket with both idler pullies installed. Where the one pulley is mounted, my bracket just has an elongated hole. Am I missing a part, or does the bracket make use of the stock tensioner there ?

Is the bracket the old one or new style the picture is of the older one?

That pic matches the one I received from Andy in Aug 2005. Hopefully it's the "lastest" A&A bracket for the ATI until Andy releases an even newer bracket with his newer vortec style adj tensioner...

Mine is different than that-I have 3 idlers. There is one above the middle grooved idler-so I have 2 smooth idlers and 1 grooved in the center. I just got my kit this Christmas.

That's the newer Vortech bracket with the swing arm tensioner. Andy is supposed to have one for the Procharger's aout soon-this will make changing belts much easier. Gotta hand it to Andy-the guy keeps improving his kits.
