You can have my setup, it is the same as he has posted. I am going to serpentine as soon as I get off my lazy butt, oh and buy a reverse rotation water pump.That year motor is my favorite setup , you have two belts on the fan

Here is what I would do .
1. pressure wash that engine bay (I have seen worse but take pride in your ride)
2. I would replace all belts and hoses
3.Replace the intake gasket and thermostat gasket .
If you clean the engine it will run a degree or two cooler
Also flush the radiator and power steering

Yes its shiny and it will be easy for people to find when they come to help get my broken pile of the trail. Besides the wax helps it slide on the rocks better.

funny, i busted an alternator belt on my WAY to work yesterday... mine has the short serp-style belt, and another one around the water pump and the power steering pump... glad it had that...
what color fluid is on the floor when you stopped...? i know when my truck is off and i crank the wheel one way or the other i get fluid to come out the cap of my reservoir...

are we seriously busting a guy's balls over how clean his engine compartment is? 
some folks on here need to finish doing their make-up and get out the door to go push some papers.
was the moaning a low steering-type moan, or a belt squeal moan? i think the most reasonable answer is from iceman. replace those belts and see if that does the trick.

No wonder mine was so clean...nice come back grasshoppa!
Hurry up and get back from PR so we can go wheeling sometime and change that..I think it was a low steering type moan because it got louder and wheel vibrated when I turned... of course I guess it could be a belt too... I really dont know
So I bought the belt but I dont know how I should go about putting it on.. I looked on google and most of that talked about a tension bolt but I dont think I have one of them bad boys, So then I thought about just loosening the alternator but I dont know. Enlighten me

That bolt should be on your alt....loosen it and the alternator will go right to left to adjust the tension

I don't see any other way other then using the alternator as your tensioner. Be careful though... It's not hard to strip one out. Make sure you use a lock washer also. I just had my belt flip over in my boat becaue the bolt rattled loose.

look at your pics...on the alt. you can see a bolt that goes thru the alt bracket and has a long slot...loosen that bolt push the alt to the right(if yo are looking at it)...put your belt on...push it back to the left...tighten bolt...done!
