I dont need the pas pump on my m50 engine as my car has a manual rack.
The thing is the belt will be to long so is there away around this ?
Can I use the pullys from a m20 so I can use a m20 fan belt ?

No chance of using M20 pulleys.
Remove the pump, measure how long a new belt needs to be with some string then go to halfrauds

no,it will hurt your hand
only joking.i dont think enough belt is round the crank and youve also missed the tensioner.see if it will go around the top of the crank from the left,round the tensioner,back round the water pump.
