If you post a picture of the compressor, we might be able to tell you if it is OEM or aftermarket.

rjonesWent with a 101.580 inch long belt, worked perfect. Thanks again Steve. This is my first RV so I am sure you all will be hearing from me again.

Steve VWGlad you have what you need.

This kind of thing is fairly common with RVs, the coach builders often change things and don't always document them. Besides that, by the time we get them the documents are often long gone. Glad we can help.
You're still lucky to have that newer coach. My 86 was an EPA disaster, 2 smog pumps, EGR, vacuum advance delay valve, low compression, etc.
I retrofit a fuel injection system on my 454, way better. Like Kevin says, stay tuned, my next project is a 454HO 425hp engine swap!

Good luck with your projects, keep in touch!

Be sure you save the pn and a diagram or photo.
BTW, if you buy a NAPA belt, be sure to get their top USA line, not the budget Mexican one. GM serpantine setups don't like the cheap belt.
