Correct sequence of V-belts with AC

[torbsim]

Hey guys, I want to install the V-belts for the flywheel as well as the servo pump and the newly installed AC compressor in the next few days.

The previous owner had removed the AC, please don't ask me why.

Anyway, I now need the correct installation of the V-belts.

I couldn't find what I was looking for in the manual.

Can you please help me connect the V-belts to the correct parts?

Thanks
Ben

From back to front

crank - water pump -power steering pump
crank - alternator
crank - idler - AC compressor

FYI - you have the incorrect AC compressor clutch assembly. Ford switched to a large diameter flywheel setup to reduce belt noise. Something to think about down the road.

Thanks, @Hemikiller . Found no other clutch Assembly at NPD. Just the one I installed.

You can utilized used clutch and coil from ebay. I've found it a good source of new and used parts. It can be cleaned/sand blasted to new appearance. CarID has a new setup as well but more expensive

Great, thank you very much, I think I'll take the second source seriously!

I may have, or at least used to, have the original A/C clutch/pulley. I will need to dedust some old boxes to see if I still have it.

The only problem with going new is that the new product is usually a repro from China and they're generally out of spec to some degree. The older part is a guaranteed fit. If the old OEM coil doesnt work, a new repro coil might be a no brainer.

 

[torbsim]

Yeah! Indeed. The most repros are not fitting well.
