I am interested in the small belt/thin pulley conversion as well. From what I understand the benefits are several:
- Easier to find a thinner belt at auto parts stores
- Easier to install a thinner belt, especially if it needs to be done roadside
- Less strain on the water pump and generator/alternator
Is this something that can be accomplished with the engine in the car? I sort of assume the radiator and cowl have to come off, is that so?
