im making new brackets out of the old ones to eliminate the idler, tensoner, (alt will tension it) smog, and ac.. as long as the water pump pulley spins off the back of the serp. belt it will spin the correct way right?

how are you going to have the alternator be the tensioner? how are you going to get the belt on if you can't loosen anything up to give you slack? i don't get it...

EDIT: also, if you worried about the water pump and are going through all the hassle of making your own accessory brackets why not just get an electric water pump

and here i thought there was gonna be an answer.. not people telling me why its stupid.. im making new bracket, cleaner, free..... gets rid of smog/ac and the ugly tens./idler..
the alternator is adjustable by pivoting on the mount bolt, and having a tie-rod type adjuster on the other side...

yes as long as the belt is running off the back side of the serp it will be spinning in the correct direction.

Dood, tons of hot rodders use the alt as the tensioner, i know you have seen it.

see how one bolt for the alt can slide? thats how you take out the slack

kooley..

its almost done, i ended up just highly modifying the orig. brackets.lol it allows me to do the same thing without all the extra work. i just have to go get the tie-rod type adjuster when i can, and a belt.. ill post some pics since most people delete the ac/smog... it will prolly be done this weekend if its nice.. has anyone moved their coil to another spot? if so, where? i never did like it in the spot it was anyway..

I've seen guys put their coil somewhere on the driver's side strut tower, thats around where they were mounted on the Fox cars with the longer coil wire. You'd only have to extend the harness going to the coil, which is easily done. Search for "power steering delete" or something along those lines, guys with no PS pump will have the coil mounted elsewhere.

good idea on the search...
the car IS actually a fox. it has an sn95 style moter in it.. i dont really want to put the coil on the fender, as im hiding wires and stuff also...
