What a PITA!
GM should put "Will not fit corvette."
I got it 95% done. I've been doing this little project in my spare time, so it seems like it took forever.
I had to grind away some material on the smog delete bracket so I could invert it. It was hitting the upper control arm shaft. Then I had to find a grooved idler pulley to replaced the smooth one since I inverted the bracket.
Then I had to "clock" the alternator since the large battery terminal was hitting the valve cover. Now I can't put in the small support brace. I don't think there is a lot of stress in that area to worry about. Plus I had to go with a connector (2-4 wire) harness with a resistor built in. (NAPA EC82.) There wasn't enough ohm's in the "brown" wire.
So over the winter we are going to research some fan options from flex-a-lite. I purchased a fan blade for a '94 S-10 figuring that might fit. It was slightly to big. I was going to have a machine shop slice off a 1/2" from each tip. But the car owner doesn't want to do that. So off to the drawing board again. Everthing so far looks and functions great. It takes up a lot of room forward of the engine.
