And your old w/p - does it have all it's impeller blades intact ?If not, ask here about retrieving the missing pieces.
3. If you need to replace the Serpentine belt, check all the idler/tension pulley bearings for wear/noise
4. check the alternator bearing.
There are many good reasons for all this PM in Search.
The problem seldom mentioned is if the nut behind the tensioner pulley spins when you try to fit the new belt ..................
And if you want to avoid loss of coolant (again) check the coolant reservoir for deterioration
BTW Walmart coolant works just fine !
Good luck with your project !

Good ideas
I have a new belt but i am not sure how old it is. Do these belts dry up if not used?
