Problems with the Serpentine Kit

I decided to put the water pump and the serpentine kit on today.  The electric water pump was pretty straight forward to install (some gasket sealer on the gaskets and 4 bolts).  I also put on a new water neck, Fel-Pro gasket, and 180 degree Superstat thermostat.  As instructed by the mechanic, I drilled a tiny hole in the metal on the edge of the thermostat to make sure that air can always pass through.  The smallest hole that I could drill was 1/16" so hopefully that's not too big.  I did some searching and seems like I could have gotten smaller if I had a micro bit set because they come with a special pin chuck.  Just ordered one... I'll have to give Sperry a call and find out if I wrecked my new thermostat or not.  Oh well, they're only like $8.

Next I moved on to the March Performance Deluxe Outward mount serpentine kit.  The crank pulley was just three bolts.  Three other main parts went on before I stopped...  First I put the alternator arm on, then the power steering bracket, and then finally I put the A/C arm on.  Each bracket has an idler.  The idlers on the alternator and A/C brackets were added so that I could have the electric water pump.  Unfortunately, it appears the idlers are not in the right spots.  The belt will end up hitting the water pump.  One other odd thing is the power steering pump bracket only has two holes in it.  It came with three bolts and the instructions show the bracket having three holes.  The new remote reservoir power steering pump has three mounting holes on it.  I don't know whether they sent the wrong arm or what.

Just sent March an email detailing the problems.  We'll see what they say to fix this...
