Not always on my 1971 chevy 1/2 ton Cheyenne it has AC and it has the small water pump and so is my 1972 chevy 3/4 ton deluxe.It has a lot to do with the brackets they used on the trucks to line up the belts.Me i prefer the 327 Small water pump the brackets and the pulleys line up so sweet.And it depends on the long throw Alternator bracket on the driver side or used the small Throw alternator arm on the Car's on the driver side.it can get quit confusing.And you can tear up belts in a heart beat
