I like that. Will the extra pulley clear the stock clutch fan or will you be using electric fans?
aaaaand what may be a stoopy question. That looks suspiciously like a vacuum booster; is there a vacuum pump on the motor or something? Or is that just a place holder until you switch to hydroboost?

What are you going to do about a steering intermediate shaft? are you going to use that bolt sticking up for a heim to change the angle of the shaft?

Gonna have more joints than a Cheech & Chong movie. Lol! J/K!
Hmm, I was hoping to see a mount that would work on my dodge when I get it going. I know it is really tight the drivers side.

It looks to me that the steering shaft will go right under the compressor. I don't think it will need any additional joints in it

Agreed.
I am considering keeping the vaccum boost brakes. We ran vaccum boost brakes on Stompers rig and they work excellent. I know the hydro boost brakes are better, however, I have lost a steering line in the field and at that time, I had wished the two systems were separate.
Steering intermediate shaft will have two joints in it. The steering box is further inboard than what the factory did and also a vertical angle change. Two joints is pretty standard. I won't be using a rag joint.

That's smart. Looks like the best option to me.

Boy, howdy. That thing takes up the real estate, don't it!
