Whats an accery drive?

[butch]

accessery. You know water pump,alternator,power steering,air conditioning.Are you a teacher?

[jarendall]

it depends on what you are going to use, i.e. under-drive pulleys, single wire alternator, electric fan and so-forth, the year of the engine shouldn't make much difference, you can use the timing belt system are the v-belt system, there are a lot of variables

The most compact accessory drive would be to run a crank pulley and a single accessory like a water pump OR an alternator or no accessory drive at all...I guess the absence of an accessory drive is the smallest of all, since it doesn't exist.

What do I win?

To get a serious answer, what accessories and belt system are you interested in running?

Hi,
The smallest system is no belts at all in the engine bay;
use an electric water pump.
place the alternator on a pulley next to the front of the driveshaft.
Now there is nothing in the engine bay.
