yeah i saw that i can get it without too much stressing probably and i was having a great start man i looked at that linkege it seems simple enough to remove then i flipped my clutch rod over it clears now that wasn't to bad once i got the right tool to pry against the clutch thing then it all went down hill i feel like my camaro raped me tonight headers suck! it went from easy to the starter flying past my head hitting the floor, how do they make something so small so heavy? and getting hit in the head by a jack stand holding the starter uh but i won the battle in the end i guess i got the header on and the starter back on and hooked up. I can just see after all my work once everythings on i try to fire it up and it probably wont start lol but i still gotta replace the old heater lines i cut cause they needed replaced plus the spark plugs need to go back in and reorder them right since i didnt mark em and my new valve covers and rpm air gap intake are in the mail and i still have the x pipes glass packs and tips to put on eh so much to do on a 8 hour aweek car work schedule. but how much you wanna offer for the linkege?

You want a long one. The short pumps were for Vetts I believe. Anyhow none of your pulleys/brackets will line up with a short pump.
