I agree with the others, however the problem is usually finding the
right pulleys and water pump shaft length.. I've done 2 like your
first picture and so far both have worked as advertised. I don't
like running a V-belt on both sides, but so far so good..<br>

Working on the restoration of a Jaguar MK2 at the moment, and I
have a question for my healey friends.
<div class=""><br class="">
<div class="">I am air conditioning this car. My first
configuration of pulleys and belts can be seen in Image 1. All
on one 1/2” “V” belt. This approach continues to use the
original “jockey” pulley (to the left and above the crank
pulley) for tensioning the belt although I suppose that it is
not really needed since in this approach the tension can be
adjusted by rotating the alternator.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">However, I wonder about having the alternator and
the compressor on one “V” belt as in image 2, and then have
the crank pulley, water pump pulley, compressor and idler
pulley (not tensioned) on a second “V” belt. I could
accomplish this easily as the compressor has two “V” belt
pulleys (one double) and I could shift the alternator to the
rear to get the proper alignment.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Do I gain much of anything by moving to the two
belts?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I have seen several Healeys with the stacked
alternator and compressor on their own belt. Unlike in the
Healey configuration, in my case the compressor would be on
top and the alternator below.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">What are your thoughts? I would appreciate hearing
your views about this.<br class="">
