Hi all...looking for thoughts/advise on serpentine belt alignment after Vortech V3 install.
Belt is coming up a rib on A/C pulley and shredding. Thoughts on were to put washer shims?
Thanks!

Did you change the balancer as well ?
You need to figure out what pulley is actually off. Before you can attack it .

Did you put the spacer on in the correct spot between the bracket and the smog delete pulley ? If not then that pulley will be off causing the issue .
