Serpentine conversion help

[ken75ranger]

Here's where I'm stuck. I have the FMS ac elimintor bracket. I can't see how to put it on. I think I need a different PS mount. Any help would be great.

Skip the bracket and just run a shorter belt. We've done it on 2 so far.

Is there enough room for the ps pump to miss the stock steering box? It measured very close. Who's fan are you running?
Thanks again!

Here's a pic of mine... looks just like yours only I left the A/C on there:

As you can see, it's sitting in the rig now, so "yes" the PS pump does miss the steering box... but not by much. You'll have to get crafty on the hoses, and chances are they will be pretty short, or routed with a few bends.

I'm running a fan I bought at AutoZone for about 20bucks. It's an Imperial flex fan for a 92 Ford Mustang GT. It fits fine after moving the rad core forward about an inch. I used a 2 1/4" spacer, but plan on cutting it back some.

We've done 2 of the motors where we eliminated the AC and used a shorter belt. Neither one was on an EB though. (We might be doing another one in an EB before long though) Mine doesn't qualify because I have the Crown Vic/Grand Marquis Serpentine belts where the water pump is a standard rotation. I've also moved my radiator forward a couple of inches and run a Taurus electric fan so that isn't "typical" either.

You need one like this to work with the Ford Motorsport ac eliminator bracket. It is from a 86 to 93 Mustang. It will raise the power steering pump to about the same level as the alternator. I have an extra or two if you can't find one locally.

Thanks for the help guys. If I don't find one at the yard over the weekend I'll take you up on it 72.

Yes, its the only one that will fit other than the stock one. You have to grind a rib off of the inside of the bracket as shown in the middle picture for it to fit. Napa doesn't carry it any longer.
