Anyway you could snap a pic of your belt routing?

You need the following serpentine belt in lieu of the OEM setup (info courtesy of scottn2retro): https://www.amazon.ca/Gates-K070673-.../dp/B000CRBRQC
When running the serpentine belt, just route it the OEM way and skip the compressor area and you're good to go.
Right now, I only have the whiteline bushing inserts out back. The plan is to go with solid aluminum in the future, however, I don't think it will be happening this year. I'm having fuel starvation issues on sweeping right handers at 1/2 tank and below so I need to address that. Furthermore, I want to install the VAC Motorsports N54 oil pan baffle up front. That'll eat up the budget for the subframe bushings this year. I'm also 90% comfortable the way it is; the car is very very stable and fast so I'll put money elsewhere this winter. I'm thinking full spherical bearings out back, front splitter, wing and tying in the cage to the front suspension.
And here's a video of me coming down the straight at CTMP Mosport. Topped off at 220km/h.
