in the “slack” portion of the belt. - Belt and tensioner geometry optimized
for proper belt tension – equivalent to
OEM tension requirements. - All pulleys aligned with each other

What else is required to complete the installation:
- LS main belt tensioner with 6 groove pulley. (The pulley will be removed and used as the
idler pulley.) - Six-rib belt, length such that the tensioner indicator arrow is between the max and min
marks. - A Sanden air conditioner compressor, part number 4514 (SD5 series), 4522 (SD5 series),

Here's a Kwik and easy solution to your LSx engine swap AC compressor problems
- You may have clearance issues with the frame or crossmember. That's especially true for
chassis such as S-10s, early Camaros and Chevelles, and many full size Chevy pickups. - You may be concerned about the LSx "variable displacement" compressor being
compatible with your earlier factory AC system or with an aftermarket system.
- Use an aftermarket compressor like the popular Sanden.
- Mount it with a bracket kit from Kwik Performance, Inc., available in three different versions:
Corvette, Camaro/Firebird/GTO, and truck/SUV.
