Belt routing with no power steering Hello. I'll be removing the power steering pump from my setup (the A/C is already gone). What is the correct routing method to get enough tension on the belt with only the alternator and water pump being used?
It looks like the tensioner will have to be removed, and the rotating contact points will now be the crank pulley, the alternator, and the water pump.
Thanks
Ben

that might help you with no water pump, but I might be SOL if I want to keep the LS1 waterpump....

That thread gave me an idea- what if I just fab up a movable alternator mount (a la Honda's) and use that to set the belt tension?
