1987 Serpentine Accessory Brackets?!
Hello all
Quick question. Does this look like all the brackets from a 1987 Non-AC serpentine belt system?
I know that without AC, the brackets would be smaller (less) but something looks like its missing. I've tried googling pictures of a 1987 serpentine setup but the results are of no clear definite pictures. Mostly diagrams and engine bay views. All help would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone?? From the pictures that I've seen, these brackets look to go on the passenger side of the engine. So, possibly missing the driver side bracket? If anyone could help soon, that would be awesome!

Looks like a 88-up serpentine system, NOT the 87 one, which is the same as the earlier all V-belt system except that the WP/alt one is the wide flat ribbed (NOT "serpentine") style.

Awesome. So, is anything missing from this serpentine bracket setup that would make this incomplete? I am looking to buy this bracket setup but want to know first.

If it's 88-93 Camaro / Caprice brackets, they're hacked off.
The 88-up third gen setup has a tensioner on the passenger side so I don't think it is.
Missing: bolts, steel support rods, a 135 degree mounting alternator.
The 87 power steering pump was a weird fit; I ended up using the 88 serpentine pump instead when I converted to serp.
I realize keeping AC and AIR pump are in my goals, not yours, but even if someone hacked away at some truck accessories to work, it's not verifiable and it's extremely bare bones. I'd skip it.
