LT1 Carb setup in My 82

Hi guys!
I have an 82 trans am that I am rebuilding. I just picked up a LT1 motor out of a
95 Corvette. The motor has a lot of work done to it already. It also has an GM performance intake to convert to a carb setup. I was wondering if some one can
help me out with the belt setup, maybe even post up some pics. I have been searching
and doing a lot of reading on this. It seems that the guys that have done this ( switch to carb) really like it. Can I just go to the junk yard and pick up a belt system off
an LT1, will it fit in my car with this setup. Pics would be awesome!

thanks
