I'm swapping out my old '77 350 with a 454 from an '86 suburban. The 454 has wide pulleys for a wide serpentine type belt on the crank, alternator, water pump and smog pump. AC and power steering run off a V-belt from the crank.(V groove pulley is behind the wide pulley on the crank)
I would like to use the wider belt and pulleys but I don't want to install the smog pump.
Question #1: Can I get a shorter belt to run the alternator & water pump?
The alternator and smog pump bracket is one large piece. I'm not installing a smog pump and was wondering if the brackets from an older, none serpentine type belt will work.
Question #2: Will the brackets from an older style alternator fit and align the belts?
