I really like that "under" setup for a big block, and I run an electric fuel pump, so I will check that out, if only to make the upper side look a lot cleaner.
I just replaced all 3 of my belts because my inner belt jumped on me and I overheated. I replaced the alternator a few months back and I must not have tightened it enough. After spending the time in there, and cleaning everything up (it was a mess) I realized it would look cleaner and be easier to maintain everything with the a/c down under. It just looks ugly and out of place in a classic engine bay.
Only problem is, I will probably have to install some shorter hi/lo pressure hoses/lines, which means recharging etc.
Thanks Ragtop. We may not agree on politics, but I think we see eye to eye when it comes to our cars.
