86 TA Serpentine Swap for a supercharger?
I have a 1986 TA TPI. I want to bolt up a supercharger to it. Everyone supercharger kit I find is for a 1988-1992 TPI. I am assuming that is due to the serpentine setup on the 1988 up. Can I purchase a serpentine a setup off of a 88 up and bolt it on. I realize I would need the A/C lines as well and extend my alternator wires... Would my alternator bolt up to the serpentine set up with a new pulley? Or would I have to purchase a new alternator for a 1988 ? Any advice on which superchargers to purchase?

Yes you can. You'd need the water pump too, and the power steering pump.
I'm not 100% sure if the aalternator could be clocked, if I remember correctly the case is different and won't bolt up.

Right so I need all new accessories, including, A/C compressor, water pump, alternator, power steering pump, and a smog delete pulley? PLUS I need the new connector for the alternator... that may be difficult to find.

Or you use the kit with the stock stuff you have now. I have a p600b running on an 87 and have none of the accy. from later years, no brackets no nothing. All it took was an adapter plate on the head, some extra bolts and spacer sleeves and some custom pulley work if you want everything flat belt instead of V belt. I can honestly say that my supercharger is bolted to the block much more securely than the std procharger setup.
Here's some pics of my setup:
