The PO built the engine mounts on mine so this info may not help you but here goes, my LS1 came out of a 98 and the oil pan works fine, alt clears fine, but the AC had to be moved and I replaced the factory compressor with a Sanden 501 (I think), there is a company that makes a nice Compressor relocation kit for the sanden. http://www.kwikperf.com/lsx_ac.html I ended up making my own.
Check my build thread for pictures of most of this.

I think if you remove the compressor for now you should be able to set it in the frame, the alt will tuck in the frame rail if it's like mine.
