Welcome to TGO. I'm unsure what you're asking. By the way, a search here is always a good idea.

Re: 350 install

i have v belts on the 350...had experience in the past with it throwing the belts at high rpm...so id like to put serpentine pulleys on so i have just one thicker belt versus the skiny belts i have now...maybe a stupid question but could i just go to a junkyard and pull the stock setup or do i have to buy all new accessories?

The water pump turns in a different direction.

Why not just get the accessories while you're getting the rest of the serpentine set-up? AC could be a problem, though.

Retain stock placement.. retardedly easy to install and i havnt slipped a belt yet and i dont exactly drive my camaro like a normal person... also its not a huge increase but u do see a bit of power from them.. for that price i wouldt complain mine are used and they were on a 650 horse 383 strip car if they can handle that thrashing they will be fine for u

P.S. the right kit for you is at the very bottom of that page
