You can use one designed for later cars if you convert to serpentine belt, including the bracketry and correct accessories.

Paxton makes a kit for 88-92 but frankly, they arent worth a broke **** . I had one and ended up selling it after having it rebuilt three times.

My advice would be like the 1st reply. Convert your accessory setup to serpentine and buy a kit from Vortech or ATI. Thats what I did.

I have heard some BAD things about Paxton from other reliable sources as well....

I have SOME of the serpintene set up from an 89 Car, all I have is the right side bracket for the Alt & A/C.

Procharger's are your best bet ...


I'm getting the one they've got for the carburetors at the end of the year
