I ordered a Vortech V3 SI supercharger kit from Jegs to go on my 347 stroker. I don't have smog nor do I have A/C and the belt that came with it is way too long. Does anyone know the part number or size of belt I could use with out smog or A/C so I dont have to mount un-needed weight with dumby pumps and pulley for the supercharger belt? Thanks in advance.

Need Help ASAP if someone could help me this morning. That's all my tuning guy needs before we put her on the dyno to finish up the install

Why does the supercharger belt need to be smaller?....Doesnt the belt just go around the blower,tensioner,crank? Or are you talking about the main belt? if so best bet is like what above suggested a string....

I never heard of using the main belt with the supercharger...it has its own belt..

Sorry guys, I was all confused on the phone so I went over there and the installation manual says it has to have the smog and AC pulley for the belt they sent with it to move the altenator underneath the supercharger. My guy is measuring for the main belt now with out smog and AC for main belt.

If you don't have a pulley where the a/c condenser was once located, then you won't be able to use the vortech bracket for the tensioner. My car had the frpp ac delete which relocates the power steering and it didn't work.
