I have the Bouchillon AC on my 340. It only uses one belt for the AC. I believe it even says so in the instructions. Only one belt will line up with the pulleys correctly. I have never had any problems at all. The Sanden compressor is much easier to spin and less strain on the motor than the old iron monster that was originally on the car. One belt does the job fine. Matter of fact, the same compress or is run on one belt in many car applications without issue.
That's King Weenie to you!

It's amazing what carefully following the directions will do for you...  Oh well, the hazards of doing things late at night when your half asleep.
Some see the glass as half empty, some see the glass as half full. I just drink straight out of the bottle.

call me dumb or anal or whatever but I would not be ok with that setup, front groove not used on the compressor, rear groove not used on the alt. rear groove on the crank not used. sorry looks sloppy, wrong, bad, poorly conceived & engineered. It may be "correct" by the instructions but wouldn't pass my standards. How much did that set-up cost from Buchellon? just my

Like I said above, it don't need 2 belts, one does just fine now for 10 years, same belt and I have driven my car a lot in the desert.(Vegas, Reno during August and Florida)
I can't remember what my setup cost for a SB. My BB Bouchillon setup has 2 belts.
It's really hard to find matched belts now a days anyway, so what's the point?
I surely wouldn't call you dumb or anal, just observant.
