I'm waiting on a new vortech idler pulley for my S-Trim. In the meantime, I thought I'd use a stock belt and bypass the blower pulley and vortech idler.
I put on a stock belt yesterday, and drove around the neighborhood. Every seemed OK, but I was just wondering if there are any ill-effects of doing this. The only thing I could think of is the blower getting hot from the engine oil, without spinning -but I'm not sure if this is a concern or not.
