Default March Serpentine

I have a 1980 corvette that I want to install a March Serpentine belt system. At the same time I need to buy a new AC compressor and alternator. Can I use the type 2 GM style power steering pump and remote resevoir? Could I use this March kit 21150?

Thanks
Mike

What I have on my BB. I think the PS pumps are the same? If the same, I don't see why it wouldn't work.

There is a possibility that the larger crank pulley may have interference with the frame cross member. It wouldn't hurt to talk to March. They have some Corvette specific kits, so they should have an idea of available clearance on your '80 frame.

If you aren't hung up on the shiny, polished goodness of the March kit, the late 80s F-body or pre-LTx C4 Corvette serpentine setups will do the same thing for less money.

Hi, I have a standard ps pump, but March lists the remote reservoir as an option.

I love the shiny serpentine belt system!
