Here is an exploded drawing: Pelican Parts: Porsche 914 Air Cooling System
The washer is part #15, and that is the part that gets replaced with a pulley to run the A/C. The pulley part of the fan is #12 in that diagram, and that pulley holds the alternator belt. I hope that helps you visualize what goes where.

Thanks DD for the information. Now I can clearly picture what's there.
So I heard the a/c was a dealer installed option for 914 back then. Did they install some washers underneath the alternator pulley in order to line up with the cooling fan pulley? What's their trick?
Now I have to think if I can install the washer( have one on my old engine) w/o taking the motor out of the car. I have never taken the engine sheet metals off with the engine still in the car.
