Default lt1 a/c eliminator bracket compatibility

I find lots of eliminator brackets for lt1's on other cars... like camaro.

No, the F-body bracket won't work.

Here's one for an LT1 Vette.

Ive read on here ppl found some at autozone... but i couldnt find it.
What does the TPIS one bolt into.... isnt the ac compressor bolts perpendicular to the pulley... not parallel. Do you have to mod something on the TPIS or does it bolt right in?

TPiS bracket bolts in place of Vette Denso compressor ( 4 bolts from side / parallel with belt)

F -Body compressor bolts in from front ( 3 bolts at right angles to belt )

Reviving an old thread, but I’m starting to get things together for the race car.
with the TPIS bracket, do you run the stock belt?
