The actual PN is 19155066 but everything I can find is that this is the C5 accessory setup. This puts the PS pump pulley very very close to the driver's side upper A-arm. The Camaro accessory drive is supposed to be a better fit. Both Corvette and Camaro put the AC compressor low on the passenger side which will not work with the C3 frame. There are several solutions to relocating the compressor to high on the passenger side. I have seen several brackets for either the C3 compressor, C5 compressor or aftermarket Sanden compressor.

I am thinking about the same engine with an aluminum flywheel hooked to my current Tremec 5 speed. You can get a F-body setup of eBay and this place has some nice AC brackets. www.kwikperf.com

This will be a very nice setup for sure. I have the Keisler behind my LS setup too. I could not spring for the procharger just yet. Need to take care of some home projects first. Maybe in a few years if the LS in mine gets to be too tame.

Yeah I really wanted one for my 2002 Z06 but was short on funds for a while and went with a big cam instead. I've still got the FI bug and I figure.....how often do you ever see something like tha tin a '69
