67/68 Camaro and 68 Nova BB have the same radiator shroud.(Alternator on drivers side)

69 Camaro and 69/70 BB Nova radiator shroud are the same. (Alternator on passenger side)

If it is a 1969 car it would be set up as such as far as those 2 items go.. I also have never seen the 68 style alternator/shroud set up on a 69...

I had a very early L.A. built 1969 big block Camaro with a later Corvette 454 in it when I bought it. The car had the early style short water pump,alt. brackets and pullyes with the later style fan shroud. I converted everything to the later style brackets thinking that someone used the wrong set up with the 454 engine change. I ended up changing the original looking engine wiring harness because the alt wires were on the wrong side. The car also had the 68 style 4 piston brake calipers.
