No SBC serpentine belt pumps are NOT reverse flow, they are reverse rotation.

The LT1 engine is a true reverse flow.

Anything f-body with a serpentine belt will have an electric fan, which is independant of the water pump... You can get reverse rotation mechanical fan clutches/blades (and flex fans) if you want to run a mechanical fan... Yes, a standard fan will turn the wrong way.
