I am wanting to delete all the clutter in my engine bay. I have already deleted emissions junk and I am currently working on abs, a/c (box included), possibly heat as well since I don't drive in the winter and relocating the fuse box. I know low mounting the alternator is not a problem, but to keep the power steering is usually an issue. I have seen it done in the past but did not like the way it looks. I will also be able to do away with the remote p/s reservoir as well. I will be using a 85-86 cavalier pump w/ an attached reservoir, a march 6 rib pulley and a alan grove low mount p/s bracket. I will also be using their alternator bracket. All of the products needed for the relocation is posted below, except for the belt I will have to measure for the belt.

What do you think. Will it work, or any problems that may occur. Is there a need to run a p/s cooler with this.

 

Appears you will mount the alternator on one side, and the PS pump on the other. Then run a single belt???? That would limit the "wrap" on the crank pulley to about 90-degrees, which may not be enough to prevent it from slipping.

Or do you have something else in mind for the belt?

If the PS pump has an integrated reservoir, how does the reservoir fit under the bottom of the driver's side of the block? Or do you rotate the reservor off to one side? Are you sure the Cavalier pump has enough umphhh for the much heavier F-Body front end?

Maybe I'm totally missing how you are setting it up.

 

Why noy use the Speed Inc setup? It looks way better and you can save a few $$$ in the process.

Yes I am putting the alt on the pass side and the p/s on the driver side. The reservoir sits on top of the pump not behind. I am hoping it will be okay, I will have to see. If not the reservoir is removable. Alan grove says the pump will flow enough. Check my next post and I will describe how things will be setup.

 

I am deleting a/c, and mine will be much like that. Put the alt. where the a/c is and put the type 2 p/s pump where the alt is. I should have plenty belt on the crank. The reason why I don't go with the alt. and p/s same side is because I want them completely out of sight.

 

I am going with two tensioner type pulleys. My belt will go like this: From the top of the crank to the alt. then up some to the tensioner and down the side of the crank, under the crank to the p/s pump, over the p/s pump and down some to the tensioner, up the side of the crank and over the top. My tensioners will be offset, one high (alt. side) and one low (p/s side) so the belt will have more pulley contact for all the pulleys. If I am not happy with this then I will put another pulley on in front of the crank pulley like a cog drive for a blower and run two separate belts just like this but 6 rib for both.

Will putting another pulley in front of my ATI, like in my post above mess with engine balance. I am thinking this will be an easier route than what I was originally planning. I am thinking a march 6 rib in front of my ATI will be better than the picture above.

Also what are some good ways to mount the pulleys together.
