6PK1970. Got it from Repco.

Just to repeat, I also removed the a/c compressor.

No air con would not be nice

As yours is an OBD2 vehicle the belt length I found to work with the AC still connected is a 6pk2135.

If you were running an OBD1 then you can just use the original belt.

It was going to cost more than the car was worth to take the dash apart and fix the leak. Besides most times I really prefer to wind the window down.

What diodes did you use?

...or is it that the led's and diodes are both separate, individual components?

[junglejuice]

The diodes are only required if you run a trans temp switch or some other switching method like a relay contact controlled by the t/case for instance, if you just run an auto-off-manual type switch the diodes aren't required.

As for the LEDs, they aren't "required", highly recommended though if you use the auto-off-manual control as I wouldn't recommend running too long without fans running once at temp, also they don't really need to be LEDs, they're an indicator only, internal to the switch or external to the switch also makes no difference, the switch I used has a red and green indicator built in, green for auto, red for manual..
