I'm putting a 99 5.3 in an OBS and was wondering the best way to get a serpentine belt seup on it. Can someone give me some direction? All help is appreciated, I'm an old small block dude!

The engine should come with the serpentine belt assembly. The truck setup works nice. Finding a setup in a salvage yard is tough unless you can pull the assembly off a core engine. Most won't let you have the serp setup off a complete engine assembly.

id use the OE factory serp setup.
if you plan to run air conditioning, this will be a lil hassle as the compressor will
force a lil frame notch...

If you like street rod setups, www.hotrodlane.cc can set you up with some sweet billet accessories. If you want stock, they sell takeoff accessories, also. They make a high-right side a/c bracket using the Sanden 508 compressor. That's what I run on mine with Fbody accessories. They make a truck bracket for the a/c mount, too.
