any '87 - up 454 from 3/4T - 1T will have the Serpentine setup on it.  I would get all of the stuff from it.

Cheap one using factory SBC parts - modification required:

Several companies make serpentine systems, but they typically are about $800+

On my old 82 Custom Deluxe, I once had a serpentine system off of a 91 Silverado SS.  Worked great, just had to modify a couple of brackets.  Other than that, it was just a bolt on.

If i could hi-jack this thread:

Does anyone know of any diagrams or pictures to the stock small block A/C brackets?

I'm having trouble getting mine back together again.

Nevermind;
With some snooping at the autoparts store and on the internet, i was able to get it back together again.

ALLWAYS TAKE PICTURES OR DRAW A PICTURE WHEN TAKING THINGS APART.
