I used a Bouchillon pulley set-up for my 440-6 with Shaker hood to mount my Sanden compressor under my alternator, although I ended up using a different belt routing to allow for more belt-wrap around some of the pulleys. https://www.bouchillonperformance.com/products-aircon-compressor-brackets
1970 Plymouth 'Cuda #'s 440-6(block in storage)currently 493" 6 pack, Shaker, 5 speed Passon, 4.10's 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible 408 Magnum EFI with 4 speed automatic overdrive, 3800 stall lock-up converter and 4.30's (closest thing to an automatic 5 speed going)

Well, it one ran the 79 and up 4bbl intake instead you wouldn't have that compressor to water outlet issue. You know why? Because when Chrysler switched from the R2 to the Sanden the same thing happened, so Chrysler moved the outlet. Easier fix than the hoops jumped thru in the linked fix, not that the "fix" helped much, no one has any idea what pulleys were used. The Performer and Torker II intake can accommodate the 79 and up style outlet set up. Not sure about other brands though,

If you look on their web site they show pictures that their kit runs a single belt. People on the A Body forum are reporting belt squeals, one belt won't work, and Bouchillon just shrugs off the complaints and does nothing to help: https://www.bouchillonperformance.com/inc/sdetail/467/572

The 80ish Mopar cast intakes have the off set thermostat location on the intake. Those intakes have the EGR port, but blocking it off doesn't have that much effect on performance. Then you can just use the Mopar pulleys from the same time frame. All the 80s Mopar squad cars used that intake.
If you need to have an aftermarket intake, start building the brackets. As I said, 79 and up stock intakes as well as both the Edelbrock Performer and Torker II have that offset thermostat.

That's a nice shot of the later style thermostat location.
