Alternator on the LAP turned that way from factory. It also can be turned either way. The wrap on the alternator is working fine. I can charge 14.2 all day. Also remember there is no real load on these compared to the cobalt. NO a/c , blower motor, and most all lights are led. This is a close copy of what the Ariel Atom ran when they were putting ecotecs in.Good wrap on the supercharger, not so much on the alt. Did you swap to the LNF tensioner?
Beat me to it, I think the alt will work either direction.
That is more what I wanted to do but it screwed up my coolant hose routing. And less idlers in the system is better. I may change it this winter but for now it is fine.
This is more like what i'm looking at doing.
If I went the stock LSJ route. I would of needed to buy the LSJ tensioner, Idler and an AC compressor. The way I did mine was buy a Idler pulley.You are wanting to do the belt routing on the left instead of the stock LSJ routing on the right.
The left has: Crank, tensioner, 2 idlers, supercharger and altenator.
The LSJ has: Crank, tensioner, 1 idler, supercharger and altenator and an AC pump.

Once you gut the AC pump, all that is left is 2 bolts that hold an aluminum mount that holds a bearing that holds a pulley. That is essentially what an idler pulley is. So you are going to a lot of work to re-engineer it. The stock routing has aftermarket shorter belts to support smaller supercharger pulleys. What do you gain by re-routing the belt? It seems like a lot of work, and opens up possible future issues.
Didn't your 07 LSJ come with one included at no extra cost?Really I don't like the double sided belt or the crazy expensive tensioner.
Oh I payed for it.... A belt should be the easy part.Didn't your 07 LSJ come with one included at no extra cost?
I wonder if we can find a one sided belt, as you guys mentioned, we hardly use the alternator, and that is the only thing that uses the back side.
looks normal to me.You got some interesting "customers" at your shop there......
