Two shims were standard issue. If the drive belt fitment is set up correctly with a clutch alignment tool, a new drive belt should ride just outside of the seconday sheave. As the belt wears and starts to drop down in the sheave, you can remove a shim to compensate but the belt should be replace when the overall width is reduced by 1/8 inch.
