No serpentine belt???

[squib]

This weekend, I bought a 1988 Jeep Wrangler Sahara 6 cylinder. Got it home yesterday and starting doing a little work on it--plugs, hoses, distributor, etc.

Decided to replace the belts because they were worn. There are two belts (I have no AC). So I go to the parts store, and the computer pulls up that I need 3 belts--one for alternator, one for water pump and steering, and one serpentine.

This Jeep has no serpentine, but should it??? I am very confused (which doesn't take much). Is it possible that I don't have/need one?

Thanks in advance.

Looking forward to hanging out here and gleaning info when I can.

Welcome to the Z.

The computer lists 3 belts, but early YJ's need either the 2 v-belts or the 1 serp. belt. Sounds like you need the 2 v-belts.

Thanks. That is what I assumed/thought, but the autozone guy insisted that I had to have 3. 'Preciate it.
