Default Different serpentine system question

I am trying to find a motor to put back in my vette. I found a 97 trans am lt1 with full serpentine system and I wanted to know what is the difference between them. I can see right off the bat that the AC unit is low and to the pasenger side... Does anyone know if it will still fit or has anyone tried an install like that before? Thanks in advance guys

You need to confirm "yourself' that all of the accessory mounting points exist on the replacement vs. the one in use presently. I wouldn't rely on maybe "Internet lore" as a tool here. I'd say you can use engine block/heads likely but as far as a "drop in/turn key" certainly not.

What is needed for yours presently? What's broke?
