i would like to put a horseshoe style intake on my 91. the belt routing is pretty diffrent between my 91 with a/c as oba, to a 99. do i need a newer water pump as well ?? i know i need the newer style power steerin pump. the newer pump bracket has a idler on it, and i have one just below my a/c pump. do i get rid of one or keep them both and get a loger belt ?? what ?? thanks

change the belt routing to the new style. get rid of your old idler pulley, use the new style one with new bracket and PS pump
