If the smoke you see is white in color it could be your head gasket leaking antifreeeze into the combustion chamber. You should also check where you heater hoses go into the firewall. Gm used plastic ends on the heater cores and it seems they like to split after a while.

I've done a few head gaskets on 2.8 and 3.1 motors. Unfortunately, blown head gaskets are a common problem, due in part to the crappy machining of the engine blocks at the factory. I sand the block decks until the tool marks are gone and plane the heads whenever I have one apart.
