Converting my 350 V belt system to serpentine system

I am about to drop in my 72 el camino 350 engine into my 91 camaro...The 350 has a 4bbl edelbrock carb,edelbrock intake,headers,4 bolt main,cam,etc...My only question about this swap is will my serpentine belt system/brackets bolt up to my 350?All and any info will be greatly appreciated

Re: Converting my 350 V belt system to serpentine system

It should bolt up just fine. The only two issues I can see with the swap, are the accessory bolt holes in the heads which changed in '68 so unless for some strange reason you have pre-68 heads you're fine on that front.

The other issue is waterpump length and rotation, and as long as you swap everything (incl. WP) from the '91 to the '72 you should be golden in that respect.

Good luck.
