I'm running a stock wonder bar and Ws6 sway bar with zero clearance issues and I have complete accessories A/C and all. Theres at least 2" of room in mine and the only remotely close spot is at the crank pulley and as I said 2" or better
Did your 87 camaro come with one from the factory. It would be intresting to see a picture one one.
One of my local F-buds found a stock one in a junkyard & sold it to me for pretty cheap. I paid a few bucks to have it sandblasted & powdercoated, & then installed it. If you don't get any pics in the next day or two, I'll take 2 or 3 & post 'em up here. (It stands out really well, since I thought that I was getting a deep red powdercoat {towards burgundy}, & it turned out to be a pretty BRIGHT red...)
Irocs came with a wonder bar stock as mentioned but they also came with a 34mm sway bar. The only cars that came with the 36mm were WS6 equipped TA's and GTA's but those cars did not get the wonder bar. I have had tons of third gens and one of my donor parts cars was an 89 GTA that had the 36mm bar so I swapped out the stock 34 in my car for that.
The only Camaro/Irocs that came with the wonder bar AND 36mm sway were GM Motorsport Players Challenge cars..... Like the one in my avatar
I'm wondering it the Edlebrock 3-point STB would work with a LS1 swap? I want a STB, but I don't see much of a point of a 2-point.

2 point works pretty good, it made a huge difference on my car. I tried an Edlebrock, but it would not fit with the stock hood and my Super Ram. With the LS1 you should have room. I'm sure someone who has one will chime in to let you know about the hood deal.
From what Ive seen or hear there is no clearence issues with the ls1 and any strut tower braces as the ls1 intake is pretty low. I don't personaly know this for a fact but I have seen some pics and looks like the is a ton of room.
I'd be surprised if there were clearance issues on any brand the LS1 sits way lower than the stock TPI or Carb/tbi engines do with the low intake and front mounted TB
