Yeah some of those braces don't get used.
The pulley is a press fit, push it down so it's flush with the shaft. It's better to use a power steer pump tool (Ford or holden dealers will have one that fits) You can probably use a hydraulic press but you'd need to support just the shaft and make sure that you weren't putting any pressure on the fins.
EB ac compressor will not work with serpentine setup.

Look at your car. Now back to mine. Now back to yours. Now back to mine. Sadly, yours isn't mine. But if you stopped buying dodgy cars and bought an ED, yours could be like mine. Look down. Back up. Where are you? ...You're on BoostedFalcon, reading the signature your signature could be like! Anything is possible when your car looks like my car... I'm on a computer.

Re: Serpentine conversion tutorial...lucky I kept a copy, eh?
the xh tensioner is different to the el and ef tensioner because the xh tensioner has a longer bent arm to mis the log manifold
