what's all needed?, I assume...

Lt5 tensioner
LT5 idlers (or just buy the smooth pulley w bearings in them a bearing store by gates or dayco and a longer bolt.
10 rib blower pulley (edelbrock has them)
10 rib ATI lower.
10 rib belt, I noticed the belt sizes get pretty far and between on the gates site I think 10 is ok but 11 and 12 few choices..
Mike Sitar (TooHighPSI) told me the LT5 tensioner does not fit the LT4 bracket. They make a billet bracket that allows you to use the LT5 tensioner on the Camaro. I literally just did this upgrade last night and am now tracking down belts.
