WTB: 3x00 PS pump, Alternator, A/C (for an LX9)

[Canyonero]

Worked on the engine some more this evening. The LIM will need to be turned. That means no PS pump, which means I can't use the 3x00 brackets, and therefore I don't need any of the parts I requested. :/

Off to the salvage yards to find a RWD setup!

[Canyonero]

Yeah, I just pulled my water pump/timing cover out of the box and saw that foam-backed plate and the alternative tensioner mount underneath. So all I really need is the alternator and the power steering pump.

I'd LIKE to get my A/C reinstalled, but it's only worked two months in the last nine years, so not THAT big a deal... I just don't see how an A/C compressor can co-exist with my motor mount using this FWD cover.

That strange plate is for noise dampening.

Good to know. So that's the 3400 timing cover? My tensioner is in a different place and applies pressure towards the outside, clockwise.

This is my actual engine:

I used my 3500 but I removed that strange plate from the front of it.

Yup 3400 timing cover, And what are you putting this in? You can move the tensioner to to location that it supposed to be in on the timing cover like the previous pic

Im running ym 3.1/3400 hybrid like that and it works fine

We don't have any good junkyards here. Small town. The big u-pulls are more than an hour away, I've never actually been to one.

I'm not as far north as you, but we still have the white stuff on the ground

[SappySE107]

Franz ran his like that too.

[Jonpro03]

Yes, it works just fine. I have actually seen this sold as a A/C delete kit.

[Canyonero]

You're running it like that? Not much belt contact on the water pump.

[Jonpro03]

Well, this is the best picture I could find. That isn't the power steering pump that I'm currently using. The picture shows a 3.1mpfi pump that I used for mock-up. But you get the idea.

[Jonpro03]

I have the exact same timing cover on my 3500 and the 3100 power steering pump bolts right on. If you do not want to use A/C, you can use the idler pulley just below the water pump. I have a pic of my belt routing in my build thread I'll dig up for you.

I just looked up an '89 Camaro engine on car-part.com and came up with one in Portland. Called the yard, they haven't had the car all that long and and thinks the engine is still complete. Asked what the complete engine would cost, he thought $250. It's a ~150k mile engine.

I'd like all the multiport swag off it as well, I had collected some of those parts but it's just too hard to get everything you need one piece at a time (I'm not Johnny Cash).

He said I was welcome to come look at it, but there's the problem of me being an hour away and having to take time off work.
