.... so I'm hoping I'm not the only one that's had this issue but, I acquired a practically new condition SN-92 kit, installation was straight forward but I've run into an issue with the water pump pulley and belt tensioner not making enough clearance Which is causing the belt to both touch one another at that middle point .. ironically because of the direction the belts are going in, even though they are touching, it does not cause an interference but I can't imagine this is how this is designed to run... any input on how to fix? (Pics below)

Not uncommon I had the same issue with a SN93 set-up on my 93GT.
The solution is to run the smaller Cobra water pump pulley, assuming you have a Foxbody.
