5k serpentine conversion?

[Fred Munro]

The AAN 20V I5 uses a serpentine belt, Kurt, but as Ken pointed out, make
sure you are using belts with the metric V profile. I solved the belt loss
problem on my 5ktq by buying the belts from the dealer and giving up on the
cheaper belts from the chain stores.

My '87 5ktq just lost its 2nd alternator belt in as many months to the
rain. Is a serpentine conversion easy on this model? Do any of the 10V
cars have serpentine that I could transplant? I only see references to
serpentine for V8 models in the archives. I would expect increased
reliability based on my experience with other vehicles and possibly a
couple HP gain.
