Got the serpentine belt system done...almost
Well, it's all bolted up and almost ready to go. For once I thought I did the right thing and bought this alternator harness to plug right into the alt wire and then the alt. But of course the plug doesn't fit, but other than that she's done. I also have to find a straight water outlet so the upper hose can go back on.
I also installed the Taurus electric fan that I got at the junkyard. Actually, Igotachevyor2 came over and helped wire up the fan and the alt. We never plugged the alt into the plug to see if it fit. I just ASSumed it did when I bought it. Thanks to him for coming over and helping with this ordeal. I didn't need to change power steering pumps some guys advised earlier. Of course I wasted money buying one at the junkyard and getting home and realizing that it was the same. I also have to go get another gear box, cause mine leaks. other than that she's almost ready for the Athens, AL Car Show. Here's a couple of pics that I took of it.

Re: Got the serpentine belt system done...almost
my serpentine setup has the alternator on the passenger side but the ac compressor is still in the way of the upper hose on the driver side. i used a normal t-stat housing and an upper hose for a truck with a/c. i got the hose for a 77 chevy which is the year my wrecker is but the same hose should work for you too. you definately need to fix that fuel line. that engine is going to starve for fuel. which will cause it to ping and run a little hotter

Re: Got the serpentine belt system done...almost
Yeah, I know about the fuel line. I bent it a little when I was moving it over to get out of the way of the A/C bracket. Going to the junkyard tomorrow. I'll look for one that it already bent. If not I'll get a new line, I just hate bending those lines.
Thanks for the compliments and the one disappointment

Re: Got the serpentine belt system done...almost
It came from a 4.3 motor. Kind of a bastard, there were several 4.3's that donated to it.

Re: Got the serpentine belt system done...almost
For those of you that asked, the reason for the swap is to get a cleaner look (to me) with a modern hi-po alternator and the convienence of the serp belt over having 3 belts to change. Changing belts is a lot eaiser also.
They are easy to find in the yard. any of the 88-94 model GM trucks with a 4.3 or V8 will work. Mine also came off a 4.3 and I got everyhting for right at $100. Mine also included two good pwr steering pumps. Good luck with the wire hook up Brian. Keep notes, cuz I'll be doing the wiring on mine before long.

Re: Got the serpentine belt system done...almost
I would just run a piece of braided line and be done with the hard line.

Re: Got the serpentine belt system done...almost
If you look at the link in my alt post it's the black end that goes into the alt. It's rectangular not oblong like my alt is. I don't know if Advance sells one that is oblong.

Re: Got the serpentine belt system done...almost
A+ on the post, and the work. I have been trolling around for some ideas on how to cut the cost of this mod. This will work great with the supercharger set up I am going to use!!

Re: Got the serpentine belt system done...almost
I've always had bad luck with the serpentine setup on an 88 silverado. The bearings i'm guessing on the tension pulley would go bad often and squeak like hell. Good thing they came with a lifetime warranty. The one from napa lasted a bit longer. Also had a problem where the belt would keep getting thrown off even though everything was lined up straight. Hope you have better luck with your serpentine setup.

Re: Got the serpentine belt system done...almost
Morgsie - It is called an A/C delete and available through the dealer. I the same setup on mine, but I acquired mine from board vendor Wes @ Classic Heartbeat
