E.
Using the supplied 3/8-16 x 2" bolt, fasten
the Vortech idler mounting plate to the
supercharger and mounting bracket. Do not
use a washer. Align the second hole while
torquing the bolt. Secure the supplied
composite idler to the idler mounting plate
with the supplied 12mm x 25mm bolt and
dust shield. Use thread locking compound.
(See Fig. 8.1-b.)
F.
Remove the four timing cover bolts, fixed
idler pulley bolt and right side alternator
mounting bolt from the front of the engine.
Remove the upper bolt/stud located on the
factory belt tensioner and replace with the
supplied 8mm x 25mm bolt and washer.
(See Fig. 8.1-c.)
G.
Remove the air conditioning line silencer
bracket and mounting hardware from the
silencer and front cover. Enlarge both of
the holes on the bracket with a 27/64" drill
bit, remove any sharp edges around the
enlarged hole and reinstall onto the
silencer. (See Fig. 8.1-e.)
NOTE: When mounting the supercharger
bracket assembly to the front
cover, make sure that the air
conditioning line silencer bracket is
sandwiched in between the
Vortech aluminum bracket and the
front cover in positions #1 and #2.
(See Fig. 8.1-e.) On vehicles not
equipped with A/C, two .060"
washers must be installed in
positions #1 and #2 in place of the
factory A/C silencer bracket. These
have been included with the kit.
NOTE: On some 1997-1999 models, a
tensioner stop has been added to
the tensioner. This must be
removed before bracket
installation. Remove the mounting
studs and thread the two supplied
8mm x 25mm bolts and washers in
their place.
