305 tbi to vortec 350

currently my 88 camaro has a 305, was tbi, converted to carb. i am looking into swapping in a cheap replacement 350 for the time being and wanted some info on swapping in a vortec 350 and keeping it carb'd. are there any mounting differances, will my manifold and headers fit? and will my serpentine setup bolt onto it?

thanks in advance!

Your intake manifold will not fit. Don't listen to anyone who tells you it can be made to fit.

Your headers and serpentine system will fit.
