Would someone with a car like mine shoot a picture or describe the sequencing of the 3 pulley belts? I have just installed a dual pulley generator and I can't seem to figure out the shims needed to have the power steering on one side and the generator on the other all line up correctly.
Thanks for any help! I was also looking for a few shims like this picture, as well, if anyone has a few to spare.

Chuck,

The only piece with these shims is the P/S bracket that bolts to the water pump, these are place in between. I believe all have these in place A/C and non AC models.

The A/C compressor and generator do not have these. The belts are; rear grove on water pump and crank pulley to P/S pump pulley (single belt), the middle and front from the crank and water pump pulley to A/C and generator (dual belt).

Hope this helps.

Good luck…!
