Don't recall if it had a serpentine or not?
Haha, If you took the belt completely off it wouldn't make much difference if was serpentine or not.

Fine print: Sorry Jim, I mean no disrespect. I'm bored from "staying home" as ordered by the State of California. Time to go outside and inspect my nut & bolt collection again.

Stay Safe Everyone
