XJ98.. i actually came accross your write up via google prior to comming here. The ONLY problem I have with it is you still use the pully that the clutch fan was on.. and thats what is broken and $300. I can't remember the exact layout of the belt and was trying to figure if I could bypass that entire pulley somehow. I can't actually check at the moment (all this broke a week before i left for basic training... i'm stuck in arizonia now until april). I want to have the parts ordered and at my home so when i get back i'll have a running car the next day. Thanks again all.

That wasn't my write-up but from a friend of mine. As far as a modified serp belt routing I saw a writeup of that somewhere and Ive been working on doing it myself becase my AC is dead so they put the alternator where the AC is and remove a couple pulleys.
Ive asked this guy what size belt he used and such but he hasnt gotten back to me. But heres a quote by him : "To get rid of the A/C compressor and move the alternator up, use a junkyard 4cyl commanche alt bracket/idler with slight modifications. Then measure the belt length and go to the parts store and get it. Easy and cheap to do.
My set-up has the clutch fan eliminated also."
One of these days when I get the time. Just make sure that everything is spinning in the correct direction, that you have enough tension on the belt so that it doesnt slip and not move anything, and you should be set.
