I have a manual steering/non AC 69 car, wanna upgrade to:

Currently my setup is 1 belt for the Crank water pump and alt. I have a 2 groove crank pulley.
Anything i'm missing? Has anyone used this for upgrade?

i'm pretty sure that is the same kit i used and bought it from Mancini.

I think you have to use a 3-groove crank pulley and will double check tonight.

i forgot to look last night, and now i think my comment above may be wrong...

I'll check tonight and let you know for sure.  i do know that the crank and water pump pulleys that came with my car in a bucket of other engine parts, were not correct and i had to order new ones from 440 Source.  here are the PN's that i ordered:

Water Pump Pulley - Non A/C - New Reproduction 132-1002
Double Groove Crank Pulley - New Reproduction  132-1001
V-Belt - Alternator & Water Pump drive - Non A/C - NEW  138-1001
V-Belt - Power Steering drive - w/ steel pulleys  138-1002   

i'm planning to add AC later, but will deal with those pulley and belt changes at that time

I used my original pump with a kit from Bergman Auto Craft, which uses a modified stock steering coupler that DOES NOT require cutting your steering column.  Since you're starting with manual steering, you can just collapse your center shaft and glue it back together like the factory did.  I think Kern Dog used one, too.
