I ended up taking the smog pump pulley (from the Camaro set-up) and it happens to be almost the same size as the York V-belt pulley. Took it to my Dad's lathe and cut the outer ring off of the spare serpentine pullley, then turned down the OD of the V-belt York pully so the serp outer ring would slip on it and welded them together. Took 30 minutes, worked like a charm and saved me even more money. Luckily both pulleys where nice heavy solid units and not the cheap sheet metal pulleys. Made me some homemade mounts and the York now resides on the front of my motor awaiting a new longer belt.

Can you post some pics of this, I've been thinking about doing something similar.
