RE: Premature AC removal(questions)

["Joe Doty" <rocco2nr@hotmail.com>]

I just did mine, it was rather easy once I figured it out.  I have power 
steering so that made it easier.  I got an alternator pulley off an A2 8v 
(I'm sure others would work, as long as they are the longer style) and a 
gates 7445 belt from napa (lots of places carry gates belts).  I used the 
original belt and pulley setup for the PS and used the longer gates belt to 
connect the inner crank pulley, water pump idler pulley, and alternator 
pulleys.  The only hitch was that I had to make a 1/4" or so spacer for the 
alternator pulley because (a) the nut wouldnt have seated on the inside of 
the pulley, and (b) it didnt quite line up.  You could probably get some 
large washers and get the same effect.  The hardest part of this whole 
install is making the spacer, because you have to grind a place for it to 
fit over the woodruff key.  Not really that bad.  Email me if you have 
questions.
