Default Re: smog pump

If you've got a reverse rotation water pump (stock for the serpentine drive motors), and the W/P pulley is riding on the smooth, non-ribbed side of the belt then you're OK. There's more than one-way to skin the cat, you choose one. Some people will even reverse the tensioner spring to pull up on the belt to avoid it being so close like yours. I call these 'mechanic killers' since it makes it dangerous to do anything on the motor with the motor running.
