Not too hard. Check out a complete setup from a C4. Try Gruhala at
gruhala@jcn1.com
I used a March kit for looks. Excellent quality but a bit pricy.

I also used a March kit, in my opinion nothing beats the look of polished billet aluminum pulleys. Very expensive though.

I think there is a vettefaq.com topic on my old system. It's a pretty easy conversion. I believe one of the parts dealers has a kit for a pretty decent price.

Look at an 88 305 plan jane TBI camaro bracket system it had an air pump but will install with out it. You will need the water pump and an after maket reverse fan as well. On my 81 this was a perfect retrofit because it even uses the same ac compressor.

I also used the March system, mostly for looks but I also used an elctric fan. There is also another company out there doing a system I think they're called zoops try http://www.zoops.com :cheers:
