There's nothing really wrong with it, but it was only a halfway deal. My problems were all with the v-belt on the power steering. My v-belt struggles had nothing to do with this specific arrangement. It's just that v-belts are less than ideal in general, compared to a full serpentine setup. The ribbed alternator belt worked perfectly.
If you have one and it works, or if you're trying to a keep one of those trucks all-original, then keep it. But if you're going to the bother of converting, then might as well go with the real deal, and install a vortec full-serpentine setup. Make sure you get the reverse-rotation water pump as well to go with that.
