Im doing a motor swap in my 83 cutlass.
it had a chevy 350 crate motor in it, with ac. i am putting in another chevy 350 and removed the ac and the air pump. being that i have a serpentine system, i need a way to mount my belt tensioner bypassing the other pulleys. is there a bracket for this?

I have seen Gm Serp brackets with a delete pulley bolted in place of the AIR pump and AC compressor. Scoggin Dickey(http://www.sdpc2000.com/) may be able to help with a part number

all i can find are entire serpentine systems. i cant seem to find a single bracket or something like that. i could just put the belt over the ac and air pump, but id rather delete both of them since i am not using them. this is as far as i got, is there a delete bracket here?:

You are half way there. Now CALL Scoggin Dickey and they will be able to look up all the individual servicable parts to convert your existing bracket with a dummy pulley for the AC compressor and an idler puley and bracket for your A.I.R. pump. Also ask them for the correct belt number.

if you are using standard smallblock serp stuff like on3rd gen camaros you can just take air pump off and use shorter belt and gm and dorman make ac delete pulleys
