New dicovery ? Short belt routing
 

Hey hey guys I don't know if this is ever been done before but I managed to get my serpentine belt system down to a 78 inch belt and still have everything including power steering and such minus AC I was curious to see how long or short everyone is running for a serpentine setup I would love to know!

I'm sorry, why is this an objective and what advantage does it provide??

I agree...lol.....what's the point?

More room under the hood less weight less accessory drag.a smig more power lol

Well, gee, Mr. Science, no-AC is a factory setting, and calls for a 77.5" belt from the factory.

Routing is also on the under-hood routing diagram.

Do be sure to have at least 50% if not 75% engagement of both the crank pulley and the water pump pulley unless you want "less drag" == "massively overheats in the summer with constant belt squeal".
