PO installed a March serpentine system that, while very functional and pricey, is not really my cup of petrol. In an effort to get back to a stock appearance, I've acquired an OEM 7 blade fan, fan clutch, shroud, crankshaft pulley, water pump pulley and power steering pump. Oh and an alternator that may or may not be OEM (probably not).

I have Vintage Air installed, so I'd like to have actually A/C at some point. But I've never had it charged since I've had the car, so I can go a little longer without it. So, as far as bare minimums go, I think I still need a power steering pulley, belts and... what else?

Oh, and is there anything I need to be on the lookout for while I'm putting all this on? I was looking at the belt alignment specs in the AIM, and, wow, I'm a little concerned about getting everything lined up properly.

Got some finned Z valve covers being shipped right now... Need the air cleaner assembly next! :thumbsup:

In the hope of not buying stuff twice, I'd go ahead now with the mounting and belts and pulleys for the a/c compressor.
I wonder if it is possible to easy to use the little sanden compressor with the stock v belt package?

I would call vintage air asap, they will know what you need to get.
