theres still a few bugs gettting around here like that
all they do is pull the brushes out of the old genny
so it just drives the fan
try seeing how many dopey ppl u can convince its a supercharger or an a/c compressor

whats wrong with doin it that way ,only difference i would of done is to put a double pully on the old genny and ran 2 belts,saves pullin half the car
apart to change the old one and it would be easier to replace the new one ,im gonna do that on my baja

Dual pulley and two belts would have been the way to go as there isn't much belt going round the old generator which happens to be the most important
part...
cooling the engine....
if the belt slips there..... i You could do an engine.....
if You only wanted to use one belt, a belt tensioner should have been used....
to clamp more of the belt around the fan pulley....
on some VW industrial engines, they don;t have a generator, its just a pulley at one end and a fan at the other....

we have converted the engine back to original, because she'd get so hot driving in the hills around Brissy during the summer.
She gets reunited with her engine in a few weeks and hopefully she'll run a lot cooler!

worst one ive seen was one around here had an alternator mounted ontop of the genny next to the air cleaner
it had a metal box grafted on the decklid next to the number plate light for clearance (mad max looking mod...) and also the belt was barely touching
the genny pulley on either side so would have slipped alot
