There have been lots of members that have done a serpentine coversion on their c3's. Do a search on serpentine set ups. I have done my 77 and got the set up from a late 80's F body camaro. It will bolt right up. I did use the a/c compressor and the alternator. and the power steering pump from the doner camaro. It will also require a reverse rotation water pump and either a reverse rotation fan or as I did mine went with the electric fan.

I've wanted to do this to my 73 for a while now. I've been looking at the march or billit specialties setups sold in jegs or summit. The only problem is the class i run with NCCC wont' allow the changing of the waterpump or take off the mechanical driven fan. That is my only hangup at the moment.

I think the General Motors Performance Parts Serpentine kit for a small block is a great bargain for the money, especially when you consider it includes a water pump, PS pump, alternator, and a R4 AC compressor if you buy the AC Serpentine kit. (A AC delete kit is available with an idler wheel for the AC compressor.)
It fits under a small block hood and clears the crossmember.
