My '83 Z28. Same brackets it came with. The belt in the center (back groove of the WP pulley) loops only around the WP and the crank pullies. Its not factory. Its a 36" belt if you decide to try it though. You can't use that with AC though.
Anyway, enough rambling from me... here you go.

it is similar: I guess because I have AC & the Air pump.
This is my 87 but it is just like the 86 on my friends 86 T/A.

SERP for sure, You will have to re-route the wires for the A/C and the Alt, but worth it IMHO...
If you want to get rid of the serp stuff I might be interested for the right price.

thats all right. i think ill hold onto it lol. im only going back to V-Belts because the Alt died and i cant afford a new one. plus the hookups for my air injection pipes fit better with V's so until i drop in the new engine from an 88 IROCZ then i stay Vbelts i guess. altough i will miss the conveniance of serpintine
