As the others mentioned, be sure to grab all of the hardware and fasteners. Sounds like a great deal...and your idea of mocking it up on a spare engine is perfect. post some photos.

Here's a photo of my March system I cobbled together and modified to fit on my Pontiac...it was free, but it took a lot of effort and machining to work.

Went and grabbed the stuff from the junkyard this morning. The guys pulled everything off the front of the motor except the a/c compressor. I got the a/c delete from autozone last night, so hopefully this weekend I'll have some pics on here of how I get it all together and any issues I run into.
