Question chev. question

I've got an 85 and an 89 chev. 4.3 ltr. I want to put the serpintine belt system off the 89 onto the 85. I've heard that I have to use the whole waterpump not just the pulley. Does anyone out there know anything about this.
Oh ya I should mention I don't actually own a chevy, the engine is for my ****** M38.

Yes you will have to use the waterpump as well, the serpentine belt turns the pump backards from the normal rotation. The vanes i the pump are designed to pump in one direction.
