Hi I'm looking to replace the serpentine system on my 1999 TJ w/AC. This package is advertised to fit 2000+, but I'm wondering if anyone knows if there is something different about the 1999 motor that would prevent fitment?

If there is a difference with the 1999 engine can anyone point me to a kit that will fit?
 
99 I believe doesn't have a spring tensioner. It's a 15mm bolt near the thermostat housing that operates the tensioner pulley.

Order a idler and tensioner pulley from Rock Auto. I would not purchase auto parts from Amazon...too make cheap fakes.

Once again, I find myself in furious agreement with Mac! 99 doesn't have the tensioner and depending on time of the year the A/C arrangements can be quite different. My RHD 99 with A/C has a different serpentine belt arrangement from LHD versions. Go to Rock Auto, don't waste time on Amazon.
