I want to something to this thread... On my 5.0L I'm using a shorter belt and NO air pump or eliminator bracket. After running mine and watching the belt, even at RPM around 6000-6500, I get very little belt "flap". Certainly not enough to warrant the need of an eliminator bracket on mine.

Travis, where is the tentioner on yours? If its up top between the alt. And airconditioning compresser, you are fine with out the eliminator pulley. If its between the air pump and the alt(like mine) a shorter belt seemes to be hit and miss. Mine was fine for the first couple houndred miles, than, it would jump a groove or two, after a wile it would flop off when you stsrted the pickup or the A/C kicked in.
But, the way I understand it is this bracket will fit in place of any air pump with a serpentine belt on a ford. Just have to figure out the size of belt you will than need.

I'll get you the length of mine when I get home from work. I never can remember the length off the top of my head.
