dropping lt1 into 3rd gen, accessories question

If I want to use my 3rd gen accessories.. what do I / what can I do with the harmonic balancer to get it to line up to the accessories?

To put 3rd gen accessories on.. they stick out about 1 pulley further than the balancer.

Can i use balancer out of my '89 305tpi? or what do i need?

You need LT1 accessories. Using 3rd gen's seem to be more work than it's worth. Search for MY91Y84. He's the only guy I know of that has used stock 3rd gen acc's with an LT1.

just go with the 4th gen bracket and accessories like mentioned above.
Go with the Corvette bracket if you want to have A/C installed easily.

I personally am going with the March setup since all I am running is the Alternator and the PS pump and I want them mounted low.

I'll sell you my accessory bracket if you need it, I also have a new A/C delete pulley for that bracket as well.

4th gen acc will mount up to the corvette bracket? if so .. id bew interested in that bracket... in Canada.. or at least Nova Scotia.. you'd be very hard pressed to find corvette accessories.. let alone at a half decent price.

Well, I know the alternators swap, the A/C compressors don't, and I am not sure about the PS pump.
I've got 1 4th gen Camaro bracket and 1 95 Caprice bracket.

On that car, we used some LT1 to -6an adaptors for the fuel rail and ran -6an Braided lines all the way t o the back.
We bought these Earls tube to -6an conpression fittings to fit onto the lines at the gas tank.
