<VV> pulley source?

[Mark Corbin]

Seth,

I've never had much problem with belt clearance.You sure the rear motor
mount bracket is a correct LM bracket?

Also, there are two "stock" pulleys that can be used, the a/c pulley and
the smogger pulley. The latter is a little smaller in diameter. That may
help you.
