I need help with some information.

Is the 1st Gen. available without air-conditioning??

Is the belt-tensioner located in the same place as A/C equipped engines??

What length belt is for non-A/C??

A diagram of belt routing for A/C and non-A/C would be most helpful.

Many thanks for any help.

 

You should have a sticker under the hood showing both routings. Yes they were available w/o ac. Only difference is it doesn't loop around an ac compressor. Everything else on then engine is the same, including the belt tensioner. The belt is different though, not sure about length. It pays to keep a spare belt behind the seat, preferably a non-ac belt in case your ac compressor locks up on you on the road.

 

I don't have an under-hood sticker to refer to.

 

Here ya go, diagrams of belt routing. If wrong one, just go to belt replacement, scroll down. http://dodgeram.org/tech/dsl/cooling-sys/fanbelt.htm

 

Thank you for the information.

A good picture like that can answer a bunch of questions.
