Has anyone ever installed LT1 Vette accessories (p/s, a/c, alternator) onto a 4th gen f body. It looks like ABS might have to be deleted but it would free up space on the left side of the motor for a future turbo build, I want to down pipe to be able to run down the passenger side.

 

I believe there are alternator relocation brackets. How much street time will this car see once you do this turbo project? If it is just going to be a weekend warrior, ditch the a/c and p/s.

 

DAILY DRIVER....a/c and p/s need to stay. A/c might leave but never p/s.

 

You would get used to no p/s

 

maybe after I developed huge arms from the workout I would be getting when going slow

 

I thought we couldn't use Vette stuff due to our k-member being in the way....

 

It looks like they are pretty high up....dont know though. Only looked at them while in a vette online.

 

FWIW I did this in a thirdgen since the vette accessories were higher allowing me to run A/C.. the fourthgen stuff hit and was lower..

The cost is amazing though, to replace an a/c compressor is over 400$ new from GM, remans are still close to 300$..

PM me your email address and I can send you a really good shot of my engine on the stand with the accessories bolted up.. that will give you an idea.

EDIT: sent the pics.. hope they help.
