IL FD pulley kit on FC???

i have a 89 with a 90 TII motor and saw that they sell an aluminum rib style pulley kit for the FD that allows you to keep powersteering.
most of the pulleys look like they would fit but im not sure . if they did how would i go about using the powersteering tensioner bc it is obv a different style of pulley .

can this be made to work?

if so , what could i do about the P.S. tensioner pulley ?

is there a certain ppulley for a make /model i can use that will mount direct?

post a pic of this kit.
I have another kit that is just the Main/waterpump/alternator pulleys and it uses a six rib belt.
you wouldn't use the power steering in this case.I was going to put t on my FC.(pulleys are for sale too..shameless plug!)

Ended up doing what most FC owners do and went with the air pump removal and a double rib alternator pulley

Nice.
But just for future info. You can use all the pulleys if you want but be aware that the fd water pump operates backwards from all others so keep that in mind when using the water pump pulley off a fd
