Secondly, If any of the "known" routing info is off, PLEASE tell me!!!! I'm pretty sure it's OK though.

OK, the meat and potatoes of my idea. Obviously, for this to work, you'd need to delete your AC and get a 1LE pulley, but a LOT of us have done this, including myself. Secondly, you'd have to actually KEEP your smog pump, which of course is a drain on the motor, PLUS weight. I realize that you hardcore racers won't have any of THAT!!!:nono:

That said, would my "schnazzy" belt routing work? It would make a HUGE differnce in engine bay appearance!!! You'd have to get a adjustable alternator support bracket to take up the slack in the belt, and probably fab some sort of support to help the alt. housing support the tension AND be adjustable but that's no biggie. As far as I can tell from looking, the smog pump to alternator path should easily clear the water pump.
Can anyone see why this wouldn't work??? If there aren't any obvious flaws to my plan, I think I'm gonna try it.

Please comment.
