All the kits that are available right now are for cars w/ the serpentine belt setup. One company used to make a kit for V-belt cars, but I think it is no longer available. Unless you can find one of the used V-belt kits you will have to convert your car to serpentine. This is what I had to do on my 86 Camaro, it is pretty simple.

back when your car was new Banks Engineering made a kit for it but they discontinued it and all the parts way back then too. Look for them on Ebay.
