Accessory Drive Clearance Issues

[Texas82GP]

Has anyone used the LS accessory setup from a C5 or early C6 Corvette? The PS pump is mounted a bit higher and has a reservoir that is separate from the pump that sits inboard of the alternator. I still have to find my “right El Camino, for a 5.3 swap and have watched several Youtube Vids, to answer the same question the OP has. Haven’t found the Vid that really warms my heart on this question.

Yes, in a second gen F body. I don't think I've seen it used in the G Body but would probably be my first choice...

All of the truck accessories including the high mount alternator fit a G body no problem if you use Holley motor mounts and oil pan. The low mount AC compressor will not fit but Holley make some really nice cast aluminum brackets for a passenger side AC compressor location. Much better than the dirty d*ldo brackets which are poorly made with bolt together plates.

I second this my 80 malibu is all truck everything. Clearance between the pump pulley and box is damn close but fits.

I agree as well. There are different brands of motor mounts that place the engine correctly. I used AllStar Performance mounts and I clear the steer gear by a 1/2 or so. It clears by enough for me to easily remove and reinstall the belt.
