The P/S pump (driver side, above the alternator) wouldnt be a problem

The alternator (driver side, below the P/S pump) doesnt look like it would cause issues either.

Kwik performance makes a bracket that raises the compressor up near the valve covers (almost $200). I believe Dirty Dingo makes one also.


Did you get the motor? Drive by cable is simpler to set up.

Great info guys! What cam and springs would be good to install that would work work well with the future addition of a Maggie style blower?

Buuuuuuuut, the LS1 is also drive by cable. I was just starting to get comfortable with the idea of DBW... I havent seen a build thread that mentioned DBC. Is it a pain to tackle?
