Default March A/C Eliminator bracket - problem, need help!

I just finished installing the March A/C Eliminator bracket (part # 1460). Took a little coaking, but everything finally got hooked up I also bypassed the smog pump. Problem now is, i'm overheating. As far as I can tell, the water pump has plenty of belt to turn it. I've got plenty of coolant. And of course, I don't find this out until 10:30 at night after I've left my mother-in-law's house and everything is already put up.

Any ideas?

BTW, here is the link to the instructions. I used the belt routing on the left. http://www.marchperf.com/instruction...structions.pdf

Anyone have a clue what might be the issue? I was having zero problems before this, so I know it has to do with this relocation. I'm glad I don't work tomorrow...

I'll double check it, but when I checked that last night, it seemed OK.

Any other ideas? I need to be up an running by tomorrow...

I just adjusted the tension on the belts, and the problem seems to have gone away.

On the bracket there are two pin holes for the tensioner to use, and I put the pin in the one on the right.
