I just bought a '70 300 Convertible. I've had a bunch of Mopars over the years, but this is my first C-body in a long time.

The A/C was removed by the previous owner and I'm thinking of the Bouchellon conversion to the Sanden compressor etc, with the stock evaporator.

The pulleys have been changed too. I can rummage through a couple boxes of pulleys and pick what I need for free... but I really need to figure out what I need first.

Does anyone have a good picture of the pulley and belt setup? Should be an idler pulley for the water pump?

I have a pretty good idea what I need for the crank pulley and the alternator already has the double pulley, so I'm set there. I have to change the alternator bracket to bring the alternator out to align with the A/C too, but again a picture would be great to figure it all out.
 
I've had several people tell me that by calling Bouchellon directly, they will tell you exactly what you need to buy. Never heard any complaints. Sounds like they are the experts in this thing.

Yes, I have heard they are a great supplier and I will most likely use their brackets etc.

However.... I'm pretty cheap and free is always better to me... I have a pretty good idea what I need and a couple pictures will make it easier... and pawing through old boxes is a part of the hobby that I happen to like.

Don't get me wrong... I do appreciate the advice. LOL.... I never used to fit in on the Corvette forum because the advice was always "buy from this vendor".
