Smallblock A/C cars have a 3 groove pulley on the crank. The A/C and alt run on two and the P/S and water pump on the other.

yup - I didnt realize it till I saw this picture that the twin belts for the AC and alt dont pickup the water pump at all. They run behind the pump pulley. I guess that means that I'll be having to replace my deep-set pump pulley for a shallower one. Looks like I'm not done with March Perf yet

Bouchillon makes a hidden compressor mount for big blocks, so 6paks and hemis can now enjoy A/C, without the engine looking too modified. It hides under the alternator. Here's the Pic

yes, I saw that - you only have to sacrifice youir mechanical fuel pump to do that. I have a small block so it isnt going to work for me.

It looks like I am just plain screwed here. The passenger side offset on the thermostat seems to be the kicker. I cannot find one kit available except the Bouchillon kit. (they claim to have the only kit available BTW) and while I guess its functional, I just dont like the long belt runs.

Does anyone know of a kit or bracket set that works with the later model mopar performance passenger side offset thermostat?
