The biggest problem I have found with the JY hunts is the use of a different compressor with the 2-row pulley. That is because those units have smog pumps, and mine does not. The smog pump models place the compressor just right of center, while mine would be just left of center.
I hear there is a JY across town with a lot of old MOPAR in it, so I'm going to check that one out soon. It would have been tomorrow, but there was recently a death in the family, so I am now planning a road trip in my GF's car. Interestingly enough, this entails fixing a couple things on my old Chevy truck because, while I could live with the annoyances, I won't leave her here to drive our infant around in it for a week unless its 100% right for her... plus hers needs an oil change before I head out.
Yeah, this B150 did have a smog pump. I took all the pulleys, as well as the A/C compressor the alternator and the 4BBL air cleaner assembly, but I left the smog pump for obvious reasons.
I like the idea of having two sets of belts for this beast.
Tomorrow the Mrs. and I are pulling the Monaco on the driveway pad and positioning it in front of my garage. I might even go get the engine tomorrow, if we get everything done in time.
The one thing I'm dreading is re-installation of the black tank. Inca Plastics still had the original mold, so I know it'll fit, but I've never had to plumb one before. What's really stupid is that the gray tank is forward of the road-side dually wheels, and the only thing that's plumbed to it is the kitchen sink; the bathroom sink is plumbed into the black tank, and the shower was plumbed so that it exited right in front of the black tank drain, which required use of a "blue boy".
Since the original black tank had extra unused fittings, which would have allowed the shower to be plumbed into it, and because the bathroom was already plumbed into it, my plan is to plumb the shower into the black tank, which also has these same extra fittings, because I really don't feel like toting around a "blue boy".
