The fuel line is a problem. If you can borrow flaring and bending tools, it isn't a big deal.
The wiring needs extended to the alternator and a different plug end, along with an in-line resistor if you have a volt meter.
Get All factory braces for support. Parts can come off an 88-93 Caprice too.

On the passengers side head there is not a provision for the stud for mounting the ac bracket.

Re: V belt to Serp system
An idiot light acts as the resistor, so if your gauges include one that is functional , you should be able to skip the resistor. Keep in mind, this helps trigger the alt. to charge.
Power steering lines should work without issue.
Of course, the water pump must be changed.

You didnt mention the fuel injection of the 85. If its TBI then the truck ones may work as well. but i assume the 85 is TPI right
