Has anyone has tried to find an opposite fan blades from another gm model vehichle that will fit the s-10 water pump? Reason being i want to delete my p/s to start....then possibly the alternator. If i do this i can make a tensioner of some sort to run the crank and water pump both in a clockwise fashion.

I have already deleted my a/c, and i am wanting to get rid of my alternator because i use this as a work vehicle only for the most part. 27 mile one way trip, all highway except for 4 miles. Occationally i will drive to stl or columbia in it, two batteries at 900 cca's each may get me there...

I figure i can get some deep cycle batteries for free from work and trickle charge when needed or invest some money in a solar recharging panel for the summer.

I have yet to do any aero mods. Need center caps for my alloys to mount pizza pans them how i want them, and still trying to decide if i want to do the dyi wood and black plastic sheeting bed cover...

Any thoughts? trying to break the 32mpg marker before gas hits 5 a gallon....
