Searched, lots of results nothing on the head. Can I slap a serpentine setup from a 92-98 body 454 truck on the front of the 454 in my 91 r3500?

Serpentine swap?

Should be able to.
Maken sure you get the crank & water pump pulleys. Be aware you will need a reverse flow water pump also.
Check out Quik Performance, they make a kit to put SBC serpentine Brackets on a BBC. It’s super clean and tight, not spread out like a factory BBC set up.
I just put one on the other night. There was 1 support coming off the back of the AC compressor bracket that didn't fit but I have an aftermarket intake not designed for serpentine. It is still going to work fine. Couple lousy pics over here: https://ck5.com/forums/threads/200-k5-454-k5-soon-help-with-tbi-connectors.340114/
I had the kwik kit on a 454 I put in my old 79 Malibu. Tucks everything in close. Can't imagine the price of em now tho!!! They were $50 I think when I bought mine, last I checked over $100.
Unless I'm reading the first post wrong, he's switching from a 454 to a 454? I've used the kwik adapter Brackets, they work great, but are for a 350 bracket system on a 454. I can't say much about swapping different big block bracket systems and whether or not they are interchangable. I can tell you the kwik brackets are $163 now, plus the cost of the sbc brackets if you don't have any laying around.

The A/C compressor will be different, alternator should be the same, not sure bout P/S. If have all the parts off the donor should bolt on.
