quick question about serpentine belt conversion

quick question about the serpentine belt conversion. i have a 85 camaro with a reman engine (1 piece rear seal). if these were the orginal heads (probaly not thoe) would they already have the hole drilled 4 the second stud on the passenge head, for the Accessory bracket? is this hole some thing i could see by just looking at the heads or would i have to remove the v-belts and brackets?

Re: quick question about serpentine belt conversion

Unless the heads are very old, i.e. pre 80's, I think they should have all the accessory holes drilled.I'm pretty sure each head should have 4 holes,1 at each corner.

You might consider a search. I seem to recall some members having to drill the hole.
