Slant crankshaft damper and pulleys

... Aftermarket A/C different story.

Yes, the 1974 engine I have has a 2-groove outer crank pulley (cast). I am guessing for p.s. and aftermarket AC. Never saw the car and AC brackets are missing. Didn't have an inner crank pulley. I expect all after-market AC would do such since it would be too much to require a dealer or shop to remove the damper to install AC (must remove radiator, ... adds risk).

Sounds like FMJ slant cars (Volare/Aspen) did have clutch-fans. Perhaps the last A-body slants (1975+) did as well.

BTW, I was poking around on rockauto and noticed that small-block Volare lists a Sanden compressor for after-market AC only. The Sanden brackets I have for a Volare slant appear factory since the compressor belt runs on the inner crank pulley.
