Yes i did some searching and still need a straight answer/pics...
I will be using F body waterpump, balancer and preferably low mount alternator setup,
tell/show me how you routed it and belt part number, so I can get it set up right the first time!
also probably going to get the adjustable billet tensioner
THANKS!

This is exactly how mine is setup, I'm also running a Katech tensioner. There are some pics of it in a couple threads in the External section

Use the bracket as a pilot and drill and tap the other hole.

Does anyone else thing the p/s delete belt routing, doesn't put much belt contact with the crank or water pump pulleys. Anyone experience belt slip issues with this?

I was wondering that myself, havent seen a p/s delete pulley and I am running a flaming river manual steering, maybe a gatorback belt would help it a little bit?

Mine's routed the same as Z28's and I don't notice any slipping when I drive around or race at the track. I am running a madman manual rack.

I think I've seen your car at a cruise-in, in wheelersburg before.

If no one is having belt slip issues, then it must not be that crucial, which te alternator isn't going to put nearly as much strain on the accessory drive as a p/s pump would.

I know how my belt is getting routed now!
