Re: 62 c20 power steering / 235 - need some smart people.

I think the biggest issue you are going to have with a single belt setup is not enough wrap around the alt pulley and possibly the water pump. It could cause one or both to slip regardless of how tight you have the belt.

PS pumps have a very large load on them when in use. Almost all GM vehicles I have seen, that uses non ribbed belts, have the PS pump on it's own belt because of this.
