Default A and A bracket

I was installing my flip drive and my A and A bracket did not look like the one that was used in the write up. It has more pulleys ( looks like a maze through the pulleys) and is much harder to get the tensioner to move. How many brackets did A and A make for the procharger? I think it might be the 3rd bracket design.I still have a bracket but with no pulleys in the garage.

You have the triple idler setup which is the upgrade over the dual. Are you having issue getting the belt on?

yes we had to use a antenna tool and put it in the back side of the tensioner.

Yeah, you have to get creative on that part. Your next best step once you get it all looped properly is to pull the alternator bolt and let it slide or push down, give you some more slack. I go over the alternator then pry the alt. bracket back in place with the bolt. Use a rolled pry bar to leverage the belt over the pulley. I have to pull my D1 to replace my idlers which are screaming right now.
