I’ll post pics of the accessory drive as it progresses, but it will accommodate alternator, power steering, and optionally AC.
Do you know about how far your accessory and blower drive assemblies will stick out from the front face of the engine? Early GTO’s are a little limited on space between the radiator and engine….

Also anyone know how reliable electric water pumps are on a street driven vehicle?

Thanks, and beautiful work!
