Re: [T3] Modern a/c

Sounds like a belt geometry problem... I ran a 1-belt system on an 
upright-T4-powered Ghia for 30,000mi without breaking a single belt 
(would have been longer but a deer got in the way of my headlights :-(.

However, a T3 setup is different, as using a single belt for the whole 
mess brings along other problems, such as the one of figuring out how 
the heck to seal all the cooling air goodies :-).

Take care,
