Default How Hard to install AEM Pulleys ?

I'm planning on getting these today. I have a Helms manual, but just wanted to know if there are any weird things or special tools I'll need.

Oh, and after installation of the power steering and alternator pulleys, what should I notice? Any ill effects? Couple of horsepower gains?

Thanks guys!

Power steering is so easy its a joke...the altenator can be a pain though....if you have a impact gun use it to break the nut free from the altenator pulley...when I did my si I unbolted the alternator from the car, turned it down (pulley side towards the ground) and zapped the bolt off with the gun and large extension from underneath the car.
Realistically you will see 4-5 whp using both pullies. The only downside I had was at night you could see my headlights go dimmer when my car was just at idle, otherwise everything was fine. If you have a large stereo you may have charging issues with your alternator/battery.Hope this helps.

In case you just skim through the helms. The power steering is reverse threads.

you'll get 1 whp at the most. Removing the PS belt is far better and it only gives 3 whp
