Serpentine belt on R2 with AC

[Steveeweeb]

Has anyone installed a serpentine belt system on an R2 with AC yet?

Wanted to see if it was worth the trouble or not.

Check with Brad Bez.  He has done this on several cars.

This is one setup I constructed. I used a Chrysler lower pulley and the waterpump pulley is grooved as it has to turn in the same direction. I think I used a Ford belt tensioner. It's been a few years...back in 2016.

Thanks Brad.  Was is more work than it was worth?  Regular belts really work ok anyway?
