Oh yeah, accesories.  I gues the power steering and AC would need attention
too.  This might be getting out of hand.
Unless...
We could route the belts differently, to turn the accesories the proper
direction.

Yup.  Just concerned about the helical gears.  The strait cut reverse gear
could care less which way it turns, but I think helical gears are
directional.  Any thoughts on this?
