Well to get my car back up and running I had to put on my factory water pump pulley but am still running my underdrive crank pulley which is smaller than the stock one. Is this ok or do i need to go back to my factory crank pulley?

Some guy's I know around here have told me that on hot climates it's best to just put the crank underdrive pulley, since it will only slow down the A/C and the P/S and NOT the water pump & alternator. So it makes some sense to me imo.

Given that the crank pulley is what drives everything else, EVERYTHING will turn slower with an underdrive crank pulley.
