Super Chevy – September 2019

80 SUPER CHEVY SEPTEMBER^2019

These studs are installed next, as shown.

We suggest using antiseize on the stud

threads to prevent them from becoming

hopelessly stuck in the aluminum heads.

TECH ONE BELT TO RULE THEM ALL

The Chevrolet Performance front dress

package includes this new OEM-style

pancake compressor, which consumes

less power than those classic Frigidaire

wobble-plate types. It consumes

less space, too. The good news is this

compressor will work with aftermarket

A/C systems, such as Vintage Air.

9

Two bolts secure the compressor. These

fasteners don’t require a torque wrench.

Just get the bolts tight.

10

The air-conditioning/idler pulley bracket

is installed next. You can install this

bracket as is or clean up the rough

casting with a grinder and paint or

powdercoat it.

6

The serpentine belt tensioner is next and

is easy to manipulate when it’s time to

install the belt.

11

All of your fasteners should get a dose

of threadlocker in the interest of bolt

security. Chevrolet Performance has

already applied threadlocker to this

fastener. One less thing to think about.

12

The power steering pump and bracket

assembly is installed next. Again,

you don’t need a torque wrench, just

common sense and knowing when

enough is enough. This one gets a Torx

fastener.

13

Chevrolet Performance fits its serpentine

front dress with an ACDelco 105-amp

alternator (PN 19152464), which is suitable

for most applications. Note, if you’re

running a lot of electronics you may need

to up your alternator output.

14

Next is the serpentine belt idler pulley

assembly, which is installed as shown.

7

Here’s the air-conditioning compressor

bracket and idler pulley package

installed, and this is the way yours

should look.
