Which car to get serpentine stuff from?
I have a GM Performance motor, part # 12355345 which is the 300hp model.
What car should I look to get a serpentine setup out of? I need all the toys, brakets, ps pump, A/C etc.
This motor has the center bolt valve covers, but non-Vortec heads.
I have a Vintage Air Sure Fit kit, so I hope to find a serpentin setup that has a GM compressor that will work with it. Or something...

GMPP sells a complete kit with A/C compressor thats fairly reasonable and its everything you could need... Just a thought... Heres the link.

Vintage Air's Front Runner system would work as well.

I'd really like a Front Runner but it's kinda spendy. Cheapest I've found for it is about $1500. I've looked at the GM kit but I was hoping to get into a little cheaper for now and the GM kit seems bulky.
Thanks!
I just can't seem to find a v-belt alternator and powersteering bracket that's not $100 a piece. Just need something to get it going for now.

Do you have the room for the longer water pump these kits use? Are you going to use an engine-driven or electric fan?

88-92 camaro v8, 88-93 caprice and their GM counterparts use the same basic system as the new GM system you are talking about. I know because I checked some of the bracket part numbers and they match. This system fits very well on a 69 nova.

I had a '90 K2500 Chevy and the front system would have been a perfect retrofit onto my Chevelle. But when I sold the truck the new owner wanted to keep the WP etc. I am keeping my eye open for one in the local yard.
