serpentine / power steering kits conversion

Anyone know of a good kit to convert to a serpentine system and to add power steering?

I have A/C too.

My truck is a 1972 C20 Automatic, 350 engine, 2WD.

Go to Summit racing website as they have several kits on there. I bought the March system but it is pretty expensive. Cheapest way to go would be the salvage yards and look at early 90's trucks

GM Performance parts number 12497697 is a serp system for the chevy smallblock. It has the best bracketry other than the $2000.00 march system. Available from JEGS or Summit Racing.

Re: serpentine / power steering kits conversion

There are a lot of threads on this subject. Many of the serpentine setups from GM V-8 trucks and even the 4.3 V-6 may work. If you have A/C, some put the compressor on the right. Others on the left. Just search the forum for "serpentine conversion". Here's one of the first threads that pops up. Find the one that looks like it would work for you and head to the junkyard.
