V-Belt to Serpentine -- Looking for info
Hey guys,
I want to swap from a V-belt to a serpentine setup on my engine swap (not needed, just wanted). The set up is from a 92 Camaro and my car is an 84 T/A. I know that sometime in the late 80's they moved the AC compressor from the drivers side (like mine) to the passenger side.
So I have two questions. First, will the pulleys on the Serpentine set up fit my old v-belt components without trouble or will I have to buy all new accessories?
Second, will I be able to bolt my Alternator in the AC slot on the serpentine set up?
Thanks for any help!

I just did the swap; however, I took the easy route and purchased the GM kit. I don't know if the pulleys are a fit or not, but I'd recommend picking up new--you'll have to replace the water pump anyway since the serp set-up requires a reverse flow. The following link may provide anwers to questions you haven't yet considered:
