Cool Possibly interchangeable 5.7 vortec to 305 v8...Opinions, please

Ok, I’m wet behind the ears so this may seem like a silly question, but I’m a novice so bear with me.
What parts are reusable from the 98 5.7 vortec to an 84 305 v8? I plan on junking the burb soon since the trans is shoot and it now needs head or intake gaskets…the smoking has gotten the best of my humor.
I’m thinking it would be worth a shot, both are small blocks but I want to be sure this is possible before I tear into it.
How much difficulty am I looking at what parts will I need (besides the obvious) to take the serpentine setup and use it on the 305?Is it a direct swap?Will I swap the water pump as well?Also are any ac components interchangeable?Are the wheels from the burb compatible also?

Anyone on here made the switch?
As always thanks for the advice, it is greatly appreciated.
