If he ditches the AC pump and runs a shorter belt, wont the tensioner still pull it in the right direction as normal? aka no modding needed?

Ah yip, i see what they have done there.

Swapped the tensioner pully for a Ribbed one.

Well i just picked up an alternator adjuster off another car at the wreakers.

Will see if that is going to be ok to work.

will take picks for people future refernce if it works

duude

i chased a squeel for a month increasing contact angles etc with no luck (non auto tension)

one day i pinged a brand new volvo truck serp+non auto tensioner and it was twwwaaangin

i discussed this at length with them and they lolled and said they have very lottle stretch cold but increase in length as they warm up, abd tgey had to have them tighter than jillyz on a 12a monsta port from the mount to maintain hot tension

so i jumped on the adjuster with a 2m pole and solved the problem yolo

you have an auto tensioner? is there more to its story?????

Al your spacers should be OK, this is from the LVVTA standard

 

Wheel adaptor location 
2.5(5) A wheel adaptor fitted to a low volume vehicle between the hub and 
wheel assembly to affect a change in the wheel stud pattern, must locate 
with a close tolerance fit using the centre spigot or tapered wheel nuts or 
bolts: 
 ( a ) the adaptor against the hub assembly; and 
 ( b ) the wheel assembly against the adaptor. 

 

Certainly wheel spacers (like slip on type) are required to locate on a center hub, but bolt on type (adaptors) are OK without them. That's the way I read it anyway.
