Re: [Amc-list] dumping the snake



IIRC, they made them both ways.
Kind of a crossover deal while they were figuring out a way to get way from AIR pumps.
I'd imagine with a little bit of diligent scrounging you can find a serp belt setup to drive the AIR pump.
Like Jim said, IIRC, it drives off a seprate V-belt instead of the actual serp.
So you likely just need the AIR specific P/S pulley and possibly a few brackets.
