Crosswind air gap clone and ram truck serpentine setup

Here's a picture of the AC delete pulley, you can see where it would interfere with the thermostat neck if the compressor were there

Great pic Sport. Still thinking the shorter van compressor may work with some re-engineering. Cut here....new bracket there. Perhaps even shimming the AC mounting bracket or compressor up and a longer belt. Intake still hasn't arrived (3 weeks) so I can't do any mock up. On a positive note I scored an '01 5.9 with 72K on it for $300. Haven't pulled the heads yet but the lifter galley and rockers look like new. Thanks for the info.
