Newbie questions about front engine acc.

I bought a 1986 IROC Z that has a 91 L98 in it. All of the bolt ons from the 1986 are on the 91 block. I want to know if I can put the aternator on the driver's side and the AC on the left so I can use a procharger kit. Also, I would be looking to purchase, I guess, the brackets that I would need to do that. Any suggestions on where to buy and what the parts are called would be appreciated.

I assume you have the mixed v-belt accessories on there now, and want to go with a serpentine? Its as easy as remove all accessories including the water pump, get the proper (Reverse rotation) water pump and accessories and mounting brackets for the serpentine system and install.

Thanks, I never even thought about the water pump. You've been a great help. I ordered all the stuff from hawk's third gen, it comes with a AC compressor and alternater, no gaurantee they work though.
