Don't want power steering or a/c on my LS1 swap!
Hey guys-
I'm swapping an LS1 into my '68 camaro and don't plan on having either power steering or a/c, just the water pump and an alternator. can someone tell me where i can get a belt for just those two accessories?

trying to remember the routing on my old rx-7, I know no special parts were necessary or relocation brackets. Seems like it was a 22" belt, just ran around the crank, wp, tensioner and alternator. Used an f-body alt bracket.

I have a 2002 LS1 in my 93 rx7. I didnt have to relocate or modify any of the pullys. All i did was remove the power steering and AC pump the put on a carquest part number K060525 belt.

so this is true? i've heard electric pumps work better but i couldn't understand why. Is it simply cuz the engine doesn't have to run the pump?

That's not my picture. I have corvette accesories so my set up is different. The belt part number is written right on the picture.
I do know that set up works for the F body belt position. Several guys on my previous car site ran like that with good results.

This is how I did mine, leave the tensioner mounted passenger side up top and added a tensioner pulley that I bought new for 20 bucks, to the alternator bracket pulley mount and used a Gates belt, PN K060535.

Here is how i ran mine. Stock alternator location, just a water pump, and a stock tensioner. Belt came from Advance auto. Here's the thread i made about it. It works great. Plenty of contact area for the belt never runs hot.

High coolant flow isnt always necessary. Thats why water pumps work so good even at high rpms. See the coolant needs time to conduct the heat. If the coolant is flowing through really fast its just passing by and not absorbing the heat. Think of it like this. You take a hose and run water on your foot and its cold but if you stand in that same temperature water for a second or two its much colder.
