Default Cartek HPE Flip drive

Does anybody know if the Cartek flipdrive will work with the C6 ECS Novi 1500 supercharger bracket system?

I ordered one today and was told it would work. I took my broken water pump off tonight. I was looking at the picture of the flip drive and noticed it looked like the picture showed an extra idler by the ac compressor. I only have a tensioner for the 4 rib ac belt. There is no room for an extra idler over there because of the ECS bracket and

tensioner for the blower belt.

Ok, he asked me if it was a c5 or c6 so maybe thats the difference. That picture of the flip drive might be a generic picture.

I broke my water pump pulley thats why I'm going to the flip drive. It might be over kill but I wanted to do something to posably make it more dependable. It has to take at least some load off the water pump. Thinking about going with a Evans water pump too.
