i'm running a 5.0 with a serpintine belt setup and no accesories except the alternator and waterpump. the trouble is that i've had to keep the a/c compressor and the 40 lbs worth of casted bracket only cause i can't find a suitable idler pulley and bracket for the top right side of the engine.

is anyone else here running a similar setup? is there a vedor or junkyard solution that you would reccomend that would help me ditch this heavy/ugly setup? thanks for your help...

Aside from getting one of those weird alternator tensioner setups I've seen on some built motor setups, the only solution I can suggest is to get an A/C delete pulley from UPR (or something similar) and use that as an idler with your P/S pump being gone - that way your belt has something to go over on that side and it keeps the belt tensioner functional. Looks ugly, but it's lighter than keeping the A/C crap, and it works.

Cant you ditch the serp belt and just go with a V-belt setup? Or would that require a reg rotation water pump?

That'd require some special brackets AND pullies, plus a different water pump.
