aftermarket pulleys, year descrepancy

I have an '87 IROC with an '87 engine. Can i buy the March Performance pulleys, 3 piece, for an '88+ camaro? I know the difference is one is V-belt and one is Serpentine, but say, I wanted to change my car over to a Serpentine system, would that work? Thanks.

It'll work fine, if you change the rest. You'll need (I think, 3 piece pulley kit is probably crank, alt, water pump) PS pump pulley, AC pulley and smog pump pulley, if it has those items on the car. Not to mention the brackets they mount to, and tensioner. AFAIK there isnt a way to run a serpentine setup on the stock accessory locations, I dont think things line up right.

Theres a tech article floating around on a pulley swap. I think its on sethirdgen.org or something. I dont think you can just change the AC pulley real simple either,

Yea, it sucks. I have one of both, the serpentine setup I do like the looks of better, and it probably robs a few less HP. Oh well.
