Default Holley Serpentine Kit Fit for C3 BB?

Has anyone installed the Holley Serpentine Kit for a Big Block in their C3? Is there an interference with the hood or the radiator? I assume to install this kit, you'd have to for sure remove the stock radiator shroud. No problem there. https://www.holley.com/products/engi...RoCkvMQAvD_BwE

Thanks.

Based on how far forward that crank pulley is, I would expect crossmember interference.




Now, I can guarantee that the March Performance system works and you don't need a specific one-off water pump. I have been running this system for over 10 years. They used to offer it without AC using a standard rotation water pump. (And it is $400 cheaper than the Holley).

Older phot without additional idler pulley.

Thanks for the suggestion and the detailed photos.

Looks like you have 3X2 carbs (?) and I see fuel rails running above the intake manifold/cylinder head interface. With fuel rails, I would expect that you have sequential port fuel injection. Maybe a nitrous setup? Can you say what this configuration is? Thanks again.

this March one is what Ive been looking at. I like the black version and its half the cost of the other if you reuse your pump https://marchperformance.com/big-blo...rt-water-pump/

960 at March but 760 at summit https://www.summitracing.com/parts/mch-20585-08
