Why do they run the alternator off the a/c compressor instead of shimming it and using a crank pulley with an extra groove so it gets its own belt?

They were probably trying to keep everything tight. I didn’t like the way they routed the belts because there wasn’t a lot of contact on the pulleys. Jcb426 or some member showed me how rerouting the belts would work better. Here are some better pics. I had to find the right waterpump pulley from a friend that had a hoard of pulleys to make it work.

I dig your setup... If you don't mind, might reach out to you later once I get the Road Runner and start tinkering with it.. I will be putting the six pack set up on the car with the Fresh-Air hood set, so I like the compressor hidden so the top of the engine compartment isn't so cluttered....

Oh, I see you're a golf course Super? I remember my high school and post-high school days working ground maintenance... Pretty cool job from the traps to the fairway mowing... But, knew I needed to go to college eventually.. But, had to do the Air Force first.. Worked on a top-100 Nicklaus course in West Palm Beach....

yes I can sell just the brackets. but you'd lose out on all the modern accessories as well as the belt tensioner.

I don't want the modern accessories or belt tensioner. Just looking for a mounting bracket...depending on what just that alone would cost

i'd sell just the brackets. won't have anyway to adjust the belt tension. we would have to design that in and modify the brackets so that at least something is slotted.

No problem, I have better pictures on another computer that I can get to you if needed. I’m still working at golf courses but only part time now. Enjoy every minute of it.
