Hello,

I have been given the task of getting my parents 1985 motor home running so
that it can be gotten rid of.  My
dad had a stroke a few years back and can't drive the thing anymore.  So,
they are donating it to some charity.

The thing is sitting on a 30 series Chevy Van chassis with a 350 small
block.  It hadn't been run for a few
years.  It would crank but wouldn't start.  Turned out the carb was all
fouled up and the float was sticking
so I rebuilt the carb and it fired right up.

Then, I turned on the A/C, which I guess was frozen because it started to
squeal, then that belt broke and
in the process knocked off all the other belts.  So, I should have quit
while I was ahead.

Now, I can't figure out how to get all the belts back on or even what size
the A/C belt is supposed to be as it
was totally destroyed.

What I have is the A/C pump on the top driver side.   The idler pulley is on
the top center.  On the top passenger side
is the alternator.  Below the alternator is a pump, not sure what kind.

On the driver's side bottom are two pumps below the A/C pump, one is
probably the power steering pump and I guess
the other one is the air pump.  There are supposed to be three belts.

I went down the auto parts store and bought three belts, but two of them are
not the same length as the two that
were knocked off, but, it could have had the wrong belts on to begin with.

Anyway, if someone could tell me the routing and maybe even the belt lengths
it would be very much appreciated.

Thanks.

I bought the belts at AutoZone.  They said they didn't have diagrams for my
particular application.  I'll check
with the dealer on Monday.  I just wanted to get the thing going this
weekend.  Thanks for the reply.
