3.1L to 5.0L

i just got a 1991 firebird off E-bay two weeks ago i have a chevy 305 that i got for free i did a .030 over bore on it and am getting it rebuilt as i type. i Know i need a new Transmisson and motor mounts. the motor is not going to be computer controled so i don't have to worry about the EMC. but what i want to know is can i use the belt system on the 3.1L on the 305? like the alt the power streeting and all that crap but just get new mounting things or what? i'm kinda stuck here and i don't know what to do. and yes i am planing on keeping the AC. but i am thinking about removeing it. i'm not to sure yet. if their is anything i missed that i need to chage for the swap let me know. Thanks

you didnt say where you got the 305, but mine came from an 86 bird and the pully system is different than the serpintine system on the 3.1. mine uses a v-belt for the P/S and a serpintine-type belt (no tensioner) for the alt. i tossed the ac and dont remember what that had.

the 305 came out of a 1986 Monte Carlo SS so the motor is a 305HO. i'm still kinda stuck
