Sir Sam Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Yup, that little hole thing on the timing cover does not exist on the ~94+ belt setup. Just went through this last weekend trying to put one on and decided it wasn't worth the trouble to try and cut that off at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 For my 01 intake and 97 P/S pump/bracketry I'm set up w. A/C and routed the 99+ belt like below. But it looks like your belt is riding about 1/4" further back toward the engine than mine is. :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also for the record and anyone who finds this thread later, if you don't use the newer AC mounting bracket then you need to remove the old idler pulley from next to the AC to use the newer tensioner. The newer design is far better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
