Alternatively you could piss the gay Glimer belt system off and go back to a regular serpentine belt. If a 6 rib belt can swing a Harrop 1900 with the stock pulley on it without slipping, pretty sure you can manage the A/C, PS, alternator etc no probs.
Personally I think they sound shithouse, especially on a car that isn't even blown.

When adjusted properly, they don't whine. If they whine, they're too tight and will only kill the alternator bearings. VT 5.0L doesn't have a serpentine belt.

You weren't the digger upperer Reaper so peace out.
