Would this just require a longer belt and the use of the old pullies, or will new pullies be supplied for this feature? Price difference?
I'm interested in this kit, though I would just need the basic 3 pullies, not the PW or AC.

Rotors still spinning

If you don't want a/c or p/s, you don't bolt on the pulley that runs those that attaches to the main pulley. If you want only a/c, you run only that belt. If you want on p/s, you run only that belt. There is no combination this won't do except for the airpump. That's the only thing it won't run.

Sorry for jumping into someone elses thread, but I wanted to comment on it in regards to our alternator relocation product. OEM serpentine setups almost always have a tentioner/dampener because the thin belts are prone to harmonic vibration. While it might not be an issue with the alternator in the stock location, it may be problematic with a relocated alternator unless an idler is added. One of our 1st gen customers with a serpentine setup reported a mild harmonic at idle that went away off-idle and above, but I cannot account for the effects of that vibration over a long period with our product. And now, back to your regularly scheduled programming...

$200 to reduce belt slippage and too look cool?
Also the one belt to water pump reduces redundancy.
Everyone has their own opinion.
BTW, Dan Atkins , that rebuilt I bought from you 2 years ago.....it is still going. (just hope I didn't jinx it by saying that)
