I worked in a parts store until a couple months ago. I know they had the gates belt still in stock.

I've seen problems with the water pump belt slipping when eleminating the airpump and keeping stock pullies. Spend the $100 or so on some pullies and do it right.

I agree. I don't want to cause heating problems at all. I bought the full set of Unorthodox but now I'm going to go with the combo. I just haven't seen the Greddy's in black. I don't want my engine bay to look like a two year old went crazy with crayons...lol

a 330 series belt should do the trick with the stock pullies

No need to spend $ on a pulley, just grind the stock tension adjustment bracket to allow for a wider range of adjustment. It took me about 20minutes to grind and repaint.
