    Steve I just installed 350 pulleys on my non a/c GS and it all worked out fine , I just had to use 66 on back alternator daul groove alternator pulley off of a Nailhead a/c car and a 1" shorter alternator belt. I was interested in finding out how the pulley size would change anything other then performance. IDOXLR8 :Smarty:

    Can anyone with an A/C car measure the water pump pulley for a 350 and a 455? I am looking for a smaller (overdriven) water pump pulley.
