theres not alot of belt contact on the crank pulley. Usually at 2/3rds of the pulley is in contact with the belt. So under high load from either the ac or alternator could cause belt slippage. Also which direction does the water pump normally turn on the LS? Ive never looked into one, so re-routing the belt might alter the direction of the pumps rotation.
