from the supercharger and install the supplied
8-rib pulley (2A038-333) and secure using the
provided retainer assembly (8R101-002).

882-01) and Ø3.0" smooth aluminum idler
(4FU116-031) provided. Secure using the hard-
ware previously removed. (See Fig. 2-b.)
C. Remove the factory alternator pulley. Install the
supplied Ø2.5" 8-rib alternator pulley and secure
using the factory retaining nut.
D. Remove the smooth idler located just above the
spring tensioner and retain the hardware to be
reinstalled. Replace with one of the supplied
.875"OD x .663"ID x .140" thick spacers (2A017-
882-01 and Ø3.0" smooth alumiinum idler
(4FU116-031) provided. Secure using the hard-
ware previously removed.

F. Using a 10mm socket, remove the
retaining screw securing the A/C pul-
ley outer clutch. Remove the snap
ring that retains the factory A/C pul-
ley. Remove and replace the factory
pulley with the 8-rib A/C pulley
(4FR016-021) provided. Secure using
the factory snap-ring. Reinstall the
outer clutch using the factory 10mm
headed screw previously removed.
G. Remove the spring tensioner retain-
ing screw and tensioner. Replace the
spring tensioner pulley using one of
the supplied .875"OD x .663"ID x
.140" thick spacers and Ø3.0" smooth
steel idler (4FL116-170) provided.
Locate the .280" thick spring tension-
er spacer and Pilot (4FL017-011 &
4FL017-021). Reinstall the spring ten-
sioner assembly using the factory
retainer and the tensioner spacer
and pilot provided. (See Fig. 2-g for
pulley orientation).
E. Replace the 2.6" 6-rib idler located above the
A/C compressor, using a .875"OD x .663"ID x
.140" thick spacers (2A017-882-01) and Ø2.6"
8-rib idler pulley (4FL116-160) supplied.
NOTE: This kit may include a smaller than originally sup-
plied supercharger pulley. Removal of the factory
sealed pulley will reduce the supercharger warranty
from three years to one year unless the supercharg-
er unit (with the original pulley still attached) and
new pulley are sent into Vortech for removal, instal-
lation and re-sealing. If supercharger warranty is
not a concern or if the supercharger warranty has
expired, the pulley may simply be removed and
replaced with the new part supplied. Hammering/
prying etc. on the supercharger and/or pulley will
cause damage to the parts. Light heating of the
supercharger pulley with a propane torch (if the
pulley is tight on the shaft) will aid removal. A
return authorization number is required before the
supercharger and pulley are sent into Vortech. Call
the Vortech service department at (805) 247-0226
for return authorization number. Return freight
(ground) will be paid by Vortech.
