Here is the original serpentine pulley I had custom-mounted nearly
one and a half years earlier:

I selected to custom build using that pulley because of how small it is, but actually the Mustang pulley is even smaller! The reason why this is great is because I won't have to rev my engine as high to get the same RPM out of the compressor. I am very, very pleased with the Mustang pulley

Break down of all this:

The Mustang pulley has about an inch clearance near the charcoal canister; I am not worried about it contacting.
