What is wrong with running the belt without the pump or eliminator bracket? I have an eliminator bracket, but I couldn't see any way to get it to fit. It bolted up under the alternator, but there was no other place to bolt it up so I just got a belt that fits without the bracket. It seems like it'll work just fine, just thought I'd ask.

....Thats the way alot of guys do it , but if your truck is going to see high rpm i would recomend the pulley , it will keep the belt from flapping at high rpm , and help the belt run true , it mounts below the alt & tensioner to the bracket that the air pump was on....Lew
I always wondered why people bothered with the eliminator pulleys, but that makes sense.

Different years are routed different. I have my 94 5.0 brackets on my 351. The older 351s had a tentioner where the idler is on mine,(bewtween the alt, and AC). If you just run a shorter belt on the setup I have, the tentioner doesn't keep the belt tight. It ran fine for 3-400 miles, but now that the belt is stretched, it wants to jump a grove on the alt, or totally off the tentioner. And the next shorter belt will not fit on at all. I'll try to fund a pic of how mine is ran right now
Also, if you can't find a place to bolt the lower part of the pulley bracket, you are missing a "z" shaped piece of flat metal that goes between the. Timing cover and the old smog pump.

Yes, I misspoke forgot the tensioner, it's mounted on the alt. bracket, the long run is between the tensioner & a/c comp, but it's still longer than the run from w/pump to alt without the smog pump.

It doesn't go from the water pump to the alt.
Crank up past the tentioner, to the alt, down a bit to the idler, over the A/C, around the powersteering, than the waterpump back to the crank.
Or
Crank, to alternator, over to tentioner, than A/C, powersteering, waterpump back to crank. <--- if you have this setup, than you can reroute the belt from crank, waterpump, alt, tentioner, A/C, powersteering, back to crank. That's all without smog/or eliminator pulley. I'm sure that's what ur talking about.
