Third Gen Serpentine on LT1

Has anyone come up with a way to make the third gen serpentine work on the LT1?

When reading the FAQ in the "not so difinitive LT1 Swap Guide" it says that there are a number of swaps in progress that are attempting to solve this. Just wondering if anyone has figured it out yet? Looks like the third gen brakets can be bolted up with some minor modifications.

Re: Third Gen Serpentine on LT1

Use LT1 accessories, you arent going to gain anything by sticking with thirdgen serpentine, it doesnt fit right, requires a lot of grinding to even bolt the brackets to the engine, and is heavier, bigger, than an LT1 setup, and the LT1 alternators are 124A and 140A vs the 105 for the serp, that alone is worth the change.
