teaser This kit is going to end up more expensive then the approx $450 figure we tossed out there. This is due to the idlers to get belt wrap and clearance we wanted. We have over $130 in idlers alone. We understand these kits will not be for everyone, but there is a lot of time here and quality material used.
so here are some pics I snapped Wed
We need to test an UP pulley and may possibly need alternate idler location for proper belt wrap. The plan is to have a confirmed piece and prices just after the new year.

Larry,
That looks GREAT, but in the last picture it looks like the power steering hard line runs right into the top of the AC Compressor (it looks like the soft line cannot pushed on). Or is it just the angle the picture was taken at?
Oh...the hard line can be rotated in the power steering pump!?!?! (Right?)
I'm really getting excited to see this on a Fbody!

it's tight & the line will go on, but we are still going to make a few more tweaks
-rotate the power steering just a touch more so both lines will go on with any fight
- I'm still waiting on the UP to test a few more things as mentioned
it's getting there

thanks
I will have to think about that. We designed it with high quality idlers and don't want issues to look at us if you used something cheap and the failed.

Okay, I'm going to pretend that you didn't just insult me and instead ask: are you offering a warranty on this kit?

anyway...
The brackets will be covered by a limited lifetime warranty. The idlers will be covered by a 1 year warranty.
The wiring will have to be lengthened by the customer.

So the sale is not in regards to the delete that retains the a/c and p/s right because that model is not yet finished?
Will that particular model fit with a vortech setup?
