Engine swap and serpintine setup.

I'm swapping out a 305 for a 350 (seventies era) on an '85 Camaro. I want to know if I can easily fit a serpintine setup from a later Camaro/Firebird onto this engine. What years would I be able to get parts from. I'm looking for someone familiar with the engine blocks. I"m also using headers so I know there will be some fabrication necassary. And I know about using the reverse water pump.

As long as the heads have accessory holes, you are fine. The serpantine setup will bolt up. my brother has an 88 GMC truck that came with a TBI 305. It now has a Carb'd 350 with the same serpantine setup on it.
