I can snap a photo later when I get home. Mine is without AC.

i'll take anything at this point lol. Also, pics of your heater hose routing if you can please. The only ones I have found online were with the heater bypassed.

It is not clean what your question is, but here is a picture of mine, unfortunately it does not show the serpentine belt very well. It bolts right to the 351, there is only one hole that does not line up, as I recall I just drilled and taped an ear on the block and put in a washer as a spacer, but I don't think that bolt was really needed (middle bolt on passengers side). I also ran mine without the AC compressor, but you are using a york OBA right? Just use a string or one of those sewing measuring tapes to sort out the length of the belt, they can look up belts based on length so that should be easy.

I am running a reversed input/output radiator (champion CC522). The upper radiator hose is the bottom hose for a 1986 bronco II 4 cylinder 4x4, as I recall, it works real nice. My lower hose is more complicated because I decided to use the Explorer oil cooler which makes life complicated, I don't really think it was worth it but it is done now.

Re: 351W explorer serp swap coolant lines / belt routing

the main reason for the pictures is
A. getting the belt routing correct so the water pump turns the correct rotation
B. Seeing how other plumb their heater core hoses both layout and which port goes where.

Does that help?

Outlet is on the intake manifold, return is to the water pump... Control valve is in the outlet side, before heater core. Does not matter which side of heater core is in or out...

That is the route serpentine belt is other than the AC. Mine just is routed around the PS pump. As far as the routing of my heater hoses. They both are routed along the inside of the passenger side valve cover. I'm using the WH silicone hoses and went on very nice.
