LS Accessory Systems

[McGuyver]

Well I wanted to explore all possibilities before dropping a lot of money on a front drive accessory system. My goal was to tuck alternator and compressor in down low. Some of the early gen 1 33's had some success with the Dirty Dingo a/c bracket and the ITC Billet low mount alternator bracket 551667-1. I started with the alternator side and test fit the bracket and alternator. It was a no go for me. Now that the gen 2's have upper and lower suspension holes if you are running the lower holes the upper control arm and brackets don't allow enough room. If one was to run the upper holes and trim the ears off the upper control arm brackets it might work. But since I am running lower holes the experiment stopped there.
The silver lining is my second choice is the Holley Mid Mount 20-185, it comes with a better alternator and a real sanden compressor. As luck would have it the 20-185 natural finish version is a couple of hundred bucks off at the moment, ~$1700 seems pretty reasonable.

I have the Holley system and like it, the power steering will not fit but that was OK as I'm using the electric steering. I made a post about awhile ago and I need to update it with all the other parts I used to make it fit.

Yes, I saw that post and have studied the pictures! Looks like just need to determine belt size, inlet water neck options and maybe a/c manifold. Thanks!

I used Eddie Motorsports serpentine system with my LS3 in the truck. Worked real well.
