Serpentine belts are not immune to slipping.
Run what you like.

I drive a square, why would I be concerned about looking "modern"? ;-)

I was more concerned with better technology than looks. Thus far it seems like it could go either way.

However, they did eventually stop making the Vbelt setup. I would be interested to know why. IIRC, they started putting serpentines even on the TBI trucks of the 90's. Might could use those brackets since they were factory, and not have it looking all cluttered up.
