Doing the serpentine conversion, without the AC.
I’m not exactly sure how to route the dang belt.
I am using a belt that a couple of threads are using without the ac.
Any help is appreciated.

Howdy.

I used the tape method to find a target length and then got a couple belts on either side of that length and found one that fit well on the 351W and sag pump.

there is a part number in one of the pics for your set up

Those are both the same.
There is also the option of power steering to bottom of crank pulley, up and over waterpump. Top of waterpump to lower fixed idler, around tensioner to alternator, alternator under idler back to power steering.

you can also get an ac delete pulley and bracket for about30 bucks and use the stock length belt

Installed this belt last night on this setup. It was a job getting it on. Is it suppose to be real tight?

I had to use an offset (thinking 12mm) wrench on the tensioner to get the belt installed, yes it is tight.
