What kind of serpentine belt are you guys using without A/C?

EDIT: Without power steering

[herlsy]

What kind of serpentine belt are you guys using without A/C?

AC has it's own seperate belt so no need to use a different serpentine unless you take out power steering.

Way too many hours on the swap that day...

Question for you 24V swapped guys. Is the plastic trim piece running between the intake manifold runners and the valve/coil cover necessary, or is it just a cosmetic trim piece? What does it look like without it?

Look at my motor Josh, its cosmetic, as is the coil cover.

I do like the coil cover, does it look about like this? Does anyone have any pics of a clean/finished off install without it? I think I like it better without it.



Or maybe not, not sure yet... :D



I think I like it better without because it looks a little more like this. I just really don't like unecessary plastic trim:

the euro motor (white) is a different story than the US one (black)

Heres mine.

I know the difference between a euro enigne and a US one, thanks dood.

I'm just saying I like the exposed parts better than hidden under another useless piece of trim.

It's not the best picture Josh but I can try and upload a few I took yesterday that shows just the valvecover and not the fuel rail cover.

This picture doesn't have the wiring or the injector harness but at least shows the valve cover to give a general idea.
