Wait, the vortec motors have a supercharger?  I never had any idea that the
'burb my mom used to have could have had one.  She has a tahoe now which has
the 327 vortec II... I'll be examining that a little closer now when I stop
by  to say hi the 1st-6th.

So I should be able to find something in the belt system which isn't the
smog pump and has a clutch like the A/C?
