Default Serpentine belt conversions

Has anyone here done this? I couldn't find any real threads on it.

March Preformance makes some really nice looking ones. I think they are overpriced though. I would like some input on them, if anyone has used these? Links to pictures would be nice too!

I have seen some high performance chrome pulleys at mustangs unlimited. They'll give you some more ponies.

The pulleys up at mustangs unlimited are still for the standard belt. The down side to them is that they reduce your cooling and charging ablities.

If you want to use a serpentine belt, then you need to get a conversion radiator with the water inlet on the driver's side. NPD has these. You can use the EFI with the computer if you wish. Harnesses are available from Windsor-Fox. This installation is normally done with an aftermarket power steering pump if you have power steering. If not, I'm not sure about how to substitute the power steering pump. In the worst case, you can leave it in but cap it off so it does nothing but act as an idler for the serpentine belt. Ford Racing makes an adapter to eliminate the air conditioning compressor if you don't have or want air. Serpentine belt installations are fairly common but I don't have one, so I am only telling you about this conversion from memory.
