I just bought a 79 ford, The previous owner installed dual electric fans on it and removed the facotry fan. He did not put a belt back on the pulley to work the water pump. When I asked him he said that you did not need a belt there because the belt only ran the factory fan not the water pump. Is that true or do I need to put a belt back on it?
