The best solution is probably to keep the air pump for most people XD
Dual pulleys require very closely matched belt lengths, glimmers require all new pulleys and specialized belts..
Personally, I think glimmers look awesome, but I've yet to afford one.. So I still have the air pump on my NA

I have the dual pulley on an FD alt. Imo its all u need for a D.D. Without an airpump. Gilmer is a little overrated in a street car to me. Before the dual pulley my belt would slip very easily no matter how new or tight I set the belt. I have not yet heard any slipping with this setup.

gilmer kits are only like 350 nzd which is 270usd. i dont think thats bad and yea i got no emissions gear, de-powered rack and no a/c so they are definately the way im leaning.

Running a gilmer drive setup without a supercharger is like putting 10.5" slicks on a FB... massive overkill.
Stock accessories doesn't require that much power and the gilmer is noisy and inefficient. It's only purposes are is to transfer large amounts of power such as from the crank to a massive supercharger, or from the transmission to the rear wheel on a motorcycle, or to keep pulleys synchronized such as for a timing belt.

I run gilmers on mine and love it. The whine sounds awesome and they look good, also there is no way that sucker is going to slip.
My set was $550NZD delivered but $120 of that was for the p/s pulley as well. I have since removed the p/s and will be flicking off the pulley if anyone is keen.
I don't think you can walk of the street and buy the belts that easily but they are easy to get online. Just have a spare in the boot and you will be fine. I have never had any issues.

Stock accessory pulleys bolt onto the main hub over the main pulley. Here is a pic http://www.banzai-racing.com/Project...y_09-15-10.jpg
I forgot to mention that we bought the kit from Atkins.
