When bypassing AC Pully
It doesn't look like the belt has much contact w/ the water pump and alternator pullies.
Anyone had a problem w/ belt slipping?

The belt has been looking fine. I am using a 455K6, which is slightly longer than needed. I have tried 450K6, but the index indicator was out of service range, as the belt was too short. Given time, the 450 belt length might have been fine, as I think the 455 has stretched some, but is still under tension, so I am sticking with the 455.

Its not so much for gaining HP but for shedding weight. About 25lbs removed from the front of the car. Of coarse I'll be adding that weight back when I install my oil cooler. Oh well.
I couldn't belive the completely buggered state of the AC radiator when I pulled it out! It must have been acting as an air block to the main radiator as every fin was bent and blocking air flow.
