Some XE engines have the multi rib belt though and that does both. You need to get the pulleys from an engine which uses 2 V belts and use those. You might need the alternator bracket as well so you can adjust the tension in the belt but I was lucky and got a twin V belt engine

depend's on the pully setup up what you do with the belt...
if it's multi rib, then the alt is fixed so you need an alt adjuster off an early type xe, and a shorter belt, the multi rib stuff work's, but sometimes it doesn't so people chop two of the rib's off the pully's and use a 3 rib belt as apposed to a 5rib belt..
if it's multi v setup, just leave it as it is without pas pump and belt on it

No you dont, you just get a free quick rack if you leave it on
