Supercharging 87 irocz

I am looking at getting a procharger for my 87 350ci tpi. This car has the v belt system with an qc delete and smog delete. Can somebody please give ne info or direct me to info on switching to serpentine style? I need to replace the water pump with a reverse rotating water pump right? Is it basically that simple besides getting the correct belt?

Any thoughts and/or experience would help.

BTW, how easy would the procharger kit be to tune?

Right on. Can't wait to get it done. Thanks for the reassurance. Can I put underdrive pulleys from an 88 on

What all is required with this swap with regards to the wiring harness since a/c & alternator are on opposite sides. Aside from I guess extending those wires, is there anything else to be done or did you switch to a different harness as well?
