I’m looking at getting this 350 (NAL-19419992) for my 85 El Camino. since the a/c compressor & alternator are on opposite sides of my stock 305, where can I get the right a/c lines? Also do I need to get a different fan?
Any help/ suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

I don't think the picture is an actual representation. The description says "long block" not "complete engine".

I don't see any accessories here:

Also included in the turnkey packages are:

* Holley carburetor with electric choke
* Chrome air cleaner assembly
* ACDelco spark plugs
* HEI distributor
* Chevrolet Performance Parts red spiral core spark plug wires
* Long water pump
* 8 in. harmonic balancer
* 12 3/4 in. flexplate for automatic transmission
* Oil filter and adapter
* PCV valve
* PCV hose
* Oil dipstick and tube
* Fuel pump
* Starter

Your accessories need to be used.

Ok I guess you can tell this is my first rodeo

I talked to the guys at summit and I was lead to believe that’s how it came I guess I misunderstood them , thanks for the clarification.

If it's any consolation, you should be able to swap everything: bracket for bracket, bolt for bolt to the new engine without moving the accessories around.

Ok just to correct this for future views, this does come with the accessories. The water pump is counter clockwise so a new fan & fan clutch will need to be purchased as well, I’m still looking into the a/c.

You can just buy a standard rotation water pump and use all of your accessories and fan set up then sell the reverse rotation pump.
The reverse pump needs to be used with a serpentine set up.

IMO there are better options for the money than your GM crate engine
Just one example.

Don’t open the A/C if it works you can hang it out of the way over the fender don’t add to your cost you don’t need to completely remove it from the car if it still works
