So I have my new Sanden installed and have a few questions concerning belt routing. From what I can see, the pulley on the compressor is perfectly lined up w/the pulley on my alternator. Can I just get a longer belt and run them together off the crank? If I have to use my idler pulleys from the old factory setup, I will need a new fuel line. Why? Well for the Sanden pulley to line up w/the 3rd groove in my crank pulley I need to move it forward, but my steel fuel line is in the way.

If anyone has a pict of the Sanden setup w/the 1 belt for the Alternator/Sanden setup, please post it or e-mail it to me.

Thanks,

One belt could run both AC and Alternator, depending on how much of the pulleys groove the belt is contacting. It would only cost the price of a belt to find out. If its squeals from slipping, then you'll have to move the compressor foward and the fuel line back and use the 3 groove.

Steel fuel line can be bent a little. You might have to fab a new bracket to re-position it.
