pulley bolt (replace the factory idler pulley bolt
with the supplied 8mm x 16 bolt and heavy duty
washer) and passenger's side alternator mounting
bolt from the front of the engine. Remove the up-
per bolt/stud located on the factory belt tensioner
and replace with the supplied 8mm x 25mm bolt
and washer. Remove the middle bolt also located
on the belt tensioner. (See Fig. 8.1-a.)
B. Remove the air conditioning line silencer bracket
and mounting hardware from the silencer and
engine front cover. Trim the corner of the bracket
per Fig. 8.1-b on the following page. Enlarge the
smaller of the two holes on the bracket with an
11/32" drill, remove any sharp edges around en-
larged hole and reinstall onto the silencer. (See
Fig. 8.1-c.)
C. Install the supplied M8 x 1.25 threaded stud into
the passenger side alternator mount. (Make sure
the end with the least number of threads goes

NOTE: When mounting the supercharger bracket
assembly to the front cover, make sure that
the air conditioning line silencer bracket
is sandwiched in between the Vortech
aluminum bracket and the front cover in
positions #1 and #2. See Fig. 8.1-c.
