first off, did you mean 4.3 or 3.4?
3.4, the last engine in the Gen I RWD 60-degree V6 series that went into the Fiero, S10, Camaro, etc.

next, it has a serpentine belt but only the water pump runs bacwards.
I reworked the timing cover and such so that the belt drive no longer went to the AC, PS, etc.

when you look at the manifold on top of the engine, what do you see, is it black plastic with a throttle body facing forwards?
Intake Manifold is aluminum. Yes, some black plastic for the MAF facing front. See pics:

does the distributor have the plug wires out of sequence so they line up with the plugs on each side of the engine?
No distributor.

is there an ignition coil on the passenger side of the manifold and a module on a heat sink next to it?
No single coil. Modern ignition setup with the 3 coil setup.

95 camaro is hopefully obd II but may be obd I, the change was model year 96 by law.
The 95 was the infamous OBD1.5. I also have bits for OBD1 and OBD2, but obviously if I can do a "megasqirt" that might be fun too.

just a word about the engine, its 20 years old, do you think it is what you really need?
No, I need a modern crate motor, like that little Ford Ecoboost 2.0L 4 cylinder. Maybe a LSx crate motor? But this is what I started with 3 years ago. Others have used the same motor, but they've retrofitted with the Edelbrock / Holly carb setup.
