A/c car fan belt arrangement

[texcarguy]

I've bought a complete used A.C system for my E9, about to tackle the installation. My car already has a 2-groove crankshaft pulley, which seems to be the limit to clear the stock fan. But both grooves are used.. 1 for alternator, the other for P/S pump.

Can anyone with a stock A/C system installed clue me in on the factory fan belt arrangement? Does the A./C compressor share a belt with either the alternator or PS pump?
Thanks

As on my CSL, the alternator and fan share a belt. The front crankshaft pulley is for the AC compressor as shown in the 28 page installation instructions from the factory manual "Section 64 50 020 Air conditioning - subsequent installation". I provided a copy of this section to the buyer of the complete AC setup I recently sold and previously had offered to you. My CSL does not have power steering, so someone else will have to address that issue; since I don't have an AC or power steering car anymore. It does appear to me in the manual, the power steering is powered from the fan pulley. Double fan pully apparently. Hope this helps!
