If you used the WSSSS6 bracket and kept the alt bracket with idler pulley there you should use your stock belt if you have a stock balancer.

I kept the idler pulley where it was, actually looks like the stock belt wouldve worked with stock balancer but i went with a 25% UD pulley.

I waited a little too long to put my Corvette in storage this year and almost got it stuck on the way to the storage facility...

So what now for you? Putting the front clip back on?
