The way I see it is your going to pick a part for a set up. Or at least the rest of one.

Square bodies have the AC compressor on the driver side, at least everyone I have seen is. So you could grab the rest of the square body AC system, and go for it.

You could swap in a TBI accesory set-up, and enjoy the serpentine belt. With the efficiencies it offers. The Vortec set up is a bit more compact, but cut's into the valve cover. Which could be a problem if you want roller rocker I imagine.
