Putting a 1.6 xe engine into a nova, in need of some pics to clarify how the fan belt is arranged on the side of the engine. I am missing a poer steering pump, and need to know how a belt can be fitted without the P.S. Pump, and can still be tensioned.???? Also would any1 have some pics of the engine mount arrangment on the driver side with the engine sitting in a nova, rather than a corsa. I understand that GSi standard mounts are required, but pics would be handy... Thanx any extra info or advice would be cool

Any 8v OHC nova mounts are fine.

For alternator, either keep the wide belt setup, and fit a shorter belt, tension it with a 8v type lever.
Or swap the alternator and bottom pully for v-belt items(which ive done)
