change all the pulleys, brackets, and accessories to the flat belt set up. easiest thing to do is rob everything off a donner engine.

Don't forget the water pump. The serpentine belt drives the pump in reverse rotation. Your present pump won't work with the serpentine setup.

Go here - http://www.marchperf.com/
You can buy the March Performance kits at - http://www.summitracing.com

They'll have a serpentine conversion kit for you. Be warned, there not cheap.

Good Luck,
