A buddy of mine has a carb'd 84 camaro with an original LT1 in it. How in the hell do you change the belts on it????? I don't see anything like the LT1s/LS1s or any other car where you have a tensioner that you just adjust to pull off the old belt.

He has a belt that's for the powersteering and a separate one for the water pump and alternator, both playing off the hub obviously. I see a sliding bracket on the alternator, but didn't know if that was how you took off the belt????

Is there a diagram on how to pull the belts? Thanks.

nope. Its an lg4 305. gen 2 Lt1's didn't come in f bodys till '93.
Loosen the bolt on the alt bracket and slide the alternator and remove belt.
