Default smoke?

I just got done putting my car back together after having it decommisioned for about 2 months. Cranked it up everything seems fine, but then from the passenger side aft on the engine back there is smoke coming. I don't know what it is, it doesn't seem like a toxic fume or anything i was try to smell it and look down in there. It was more of a white or light gray. It wasn't very thick almost like a steam. I replaced the waterpump, cap, rotor, and wires. I couldn't see anything burning. Please someone help me! Is it just some burn off from not running so long? 95 LT1 Auto

Any info so tired of playing with this car.

thanks
nick

Probably condensation from sitting to long. Let it run awhile, get the temps in 190-200 range.
