Keep up the good work. I personally will be going the Holley LS bracket direction as I will be running Vintage Air and am unable to run a factory compressor. I have no concerns with keeping the alternator on the passenger side and have no need for a vac pump with manual disc brakes.

I do have a driver side Holley adapter mocked up so I can check fit and possible interference when I get the engine in the frame.

The Vintage Air units do not work with new style factory units.
That is, they do not work with variable displacement compressors. Like the ones found in a lot of modern vehicles.

I could possibly use a sanden low mounted on the passenger side.

Re: LT1 GenV swap

Well here is my mock up adapter on the engine. This is basically so I can get the LT in the frame and make sure the accessories are not going to interfere with any of my porter built suspension parts....
