If it's a full serpentine, i.e. just one wide belt, then it's a pretty major change. You need a new timing cover and all the ancillaries / brackets etc. The water pump is also different, so hoses may need changing, as may cooling setup.
There are different crankshaft ends to suit different arrangements, so you might fall foul there too!
