SUPERCHARGER MOUNTING BRACKET INSTALLATION

Disconnect the emissions line from the bot-
tom of the throttle body and re-route it on
top of the shock tower brace to provide
supercharger belt clearance. (See Fig. 5-b.)

Remove the factory metal idler from its
location underneath the throttle body.
Remove the retainer from the idler and flip
the idler front to back. Install the supplied
3/8 x 5-5/8" all thread into the idler mount-
ing boss. Install the factory idler (inverted)
and factory retainer onto the stud and secure
with the supplied aluminum hex nut spacer
(See Fig. 5-a.) Leave the all-thread protrud-
ing about 2-5/8" past the spacer.

Remove the upper alternator bolt. Loosely
install the upper alternator spacer using the
supplied 3/8 x 3" bolt and washer through
the upper alternator mount.

Remove the A/C compressor bolt nearest the
water pump pulley. With the supplied 3-1/2"
spacer installed on it, insert the supplied
5/16 x 8-3/4" stud into the vacant hole.
Thread in as far as possible by hand or until
about 1" protrudes past the spacer.

Loosely install the supplied alternator pulley
using the factory nut.

Route the factory accessory drive belt in the
original manner but do not tension or install.

Using the supplied 4-1/4" bolt installed
through two washers, install the supplied
8-rib idler with the fence (raised lip on one
edge) nearest the primary mounting plate.
(See Fig. 5-c.) Make sure that the pulley is
piloted on one side of the supplied spacer
and the other side of the spacer rests flat on
the plate.
