The belt that drives fan and generator is the same for all 55-56 models - EXCEPT when the car is equipped with factory air conditioning.


And that is something I do not quite understand. The AC crank pulley bolts on in place of PS pulley so the fan has the same rear groove on vibration damper section driving it as non AC cars. The fan does change but the pulley remains the same as does the generator and it's pulley. All I can think of is maybe the AC spec'd belt is different because of fan load but how since the width and length can't change.
