Okay guys here goes. I have a 2003 5.3 from a Silverado. Truck intake will not fit into my application so I have chosen to go with an LS1 intake. I have the throttle body, fuel rail and injectors. I also have gone with an LS1 water pump to make clearance for the throttle body. Now I need to convert to F-Body accessories. I have the alternator bracket and plan to tap the boss on the block for the mount. Is there an issue with mounting the alternator with only two bolts? It also does not look like the idler pulley from the truck is the proper size, anyone know? I also think the power steering pump from the truck is not correct. Does anyone have pictures of the F-Body accessory setup? I seem to be chasing my tail here and would really appreciate some help.

Thanks.................
