Default ls3 dry sump question

What years did the Grand Sport vettes have a dry sump LS3?

I might be doing a dry sump conversion to my camaro but to retain A/C it seems like the only option would be to find a wrecked vette to get the accessory drive off of and put in an extended snout crank. I've already contacted the aftermarket dry sump companies and they only have options that require a/c removal which I'm not interested in.

Gonna be expensive, but any year GS coupe with a manual trans will have a dry sump. Why don't you look into the z/28 for the front drive?

The Z28 parts are priced insane. And I'm thinking either way the offset is different for the pulleys so I will need a full setup from either vehicle. The odds of finding a wrecked grand sport at a wrecking yard is far more likely and cost effective an option.

I'm doing a baffled pan right now, if that doesn't work this is my plan B.
