Starting in 1988 alll v-8 f bods got the serpentine belt.

Another tip off would be the cold start valve, 89 and up did not have one, it would be located on the drivers side intake manifold between the two sets of runners.

On my 89' bird the stock center bolt valve covers were black.

The valve covers in my 86 Z28 are silver.

Hope this helps.
