My serpentine build

[Sully Erna]

Just want to let people know what I did to put together my serpentine on my 85. I have read alot of posts over the last couple of years and just pieced together everything that made sence.

I used the accessory brackets and all the bolts, power steering pump, pulley and bolts, idle and tensioner pulleys and bolts, crank pulley, serpentine belt 960k6, all off a 97 s10 blazer v6. On the ps pump I just changed out the high press. bolt from the 85 pump and put it into the blazer pump and used my stock lines. Also, get a power steering pulley puller to get the driver side bracket off.
I used the water neck, water pump and pulley off of a 92 c1500 v8.
I used a sanden 4440 compressor.
I used a alternator from a 92 caddy deville v8, 140 amps. Made the upper mount from a March rod assembly and bolted it into the back of the tensioner pulley with a longer bolt. A connector for the new alternator that plugs into the stock wires into the alternator, EC82 at napa
I used a 81221 flex hose from autozone.
I did tap a new hole on the passenger side head and went about 3/8 deep.

Waiting on the adapter for the compressor and I'm using the stock ac lines (been 134 converted for a while) but cutting them off at the crimp and crimping on two 90s to the adapter the crimp them on to my original lines. Found a place in mesquite that will crimp two lines for $30.

I paid 170 for the blazer and caddy parts and Pick and Pull.
I paid 40 for the water pump, 11 for the flex hose, 26 for the belt at autozone.
I paid 25 for the alternator connector at napa.
I paid 170 for the compressor at acpartshouse.
Hope this helps someone find what they need for a serpentine swap in one spot, no offense to anyone cause this forum has been where I found all this information. Thanks to everyone who had posted about serpentine swaps.
