Hi,
I'm busy doing a V6 to V8 and automatic to manual swap on my 3gen Camaro.. The V8 (305 ci. TBI 1989') is already in the chassis but i've got a problem with the serpentine system. I don't have the V8 AC bracket (which also holds the tensioner!) , i deleted the AC system and i need a way to connect the tensioner to the block. Is there any way to connect the tensioner to the block without the original AC bracket? Are there any aftermarket brackets for this purpose?

Thx for any info !

You can try http://www.marchperf.com/ . They might have something that will work for you. Otherwise you may just have to go with the bracket and get the A/C delete pulley.

Just a thought but how about a shorter belt altogether? Just skip where it runs to the ac altogether.
