So you mean your pulleys won't let me run A/C later?? Single groove is exactly what I need. Here's some good reference info on compatibility, the water pump pulleys are half way down the page: http://www.mustangtek.com/pulley/Pulley.html

Thanks!

Hi John,

The hinge slots would be a factor if it were overheating at speed, but they are not an issue at idle, as far as I can tell. I taped them up a week ago when I started trying to figure this out and it didn't matter.
