serpentine belt question.
 
I'm not running power steering or A/C. just wondering how to run the serpentine belt. I have alt, idler, smog pump, water pump and crank. Any ideas would be great. Thanks

Are you running the fox body front drive or the sn95 (94-95). I’m running the shorter sn95 setup with no ac or ps and had to fab up a pulley to accomodate the counter clockwise water pump rotation. Fox is clockwise. Just in case you weren’t aware of the difference.

I actually didn’t know that. I am running the Fox set up.

Hold the phone, I had a moment of self doubt and had to do some refreshing. Fox setup is ccw too. I think I got mixed up because I was looking for a cw waterpump for my sn95 front drive, but none are available that had the flow going the right way. I was thinking Fox was the opposite direction. Sorry for the confusion.
Here’s a link to some common belt setups that you may have already seen. None are exactly what you’re looking for, but might inspire some sort of solution.

I wondered about the direction of a fox being ccw.. and yes it is a problem for another day.

Have you looked into using a water pump from a 1990 Lincoln Town Car? It is clockwise rotation. I am not sure of the "height" of it, though.

Not exactly sure what I’m going to do yet.
