Will 4th gen LT1 kit work on 3rd gen?

I'm about done with my '94 LT1/T56 swap into my '88 T/A. I haven't even driven it yet and I'm already on the lookout for more power, lol.
I'm just researching right now. What problems would I face trying to fit a 4th gen supercharger on turbo/twin turbo (i dunno if there's a kit for that or not) on ym my 3rd gen LT1?

The LT-1 blower will mount pretty much right where your steering box is if you are using f body accesories.

Yeah, right where your box is. Trust me, I know. I couldn't get my ATI to fit because of that damn thing.lol

I ended up having to make a new bracket. While I was at it, I converted to front mount, and fabbed up a 4" intake tube for the blower. I wouldn't count on any 4th gen kit working on a 3rd gen.

A turbo kit should work provided you can make your own tubing.

I wonder if a C4 kit would work since they mount the blower on the passenger side up high?

The blower might but the accesory drive would hit the steering box then.

How do you figure that? The Vette accessories mounts everything up high. I'm more curious to see if the blower would actually fit between the engine and the radiator/fans.
