Another LT1 Swap

I have been gathering up my parts for my swap and just recently got my complete m6 with clutch and all from a 97 t/a. But here is where I am lost, I have a 92 RS Camaro with a 305TBI in it rite now and my LT1 is from a 92 Corvette(motor being complete bottom end, heads, intake, and accessories bracket, but no accessories). So I have started getting parts for the motor and I know since I'm running my accessories Corvette style I have to Corvette ones but like on the pulleys, harmonic balancer, and power steering pump do I also have to get that off a Corvette? I have already got an ecu and dual fans out of a 94Z28 and a factory wire harness out of a 95Z28. What parts can I get from a Camaro and what parts do I have to get from a Corvette?

Mines a combination of vette and maro parts. If i had to do it over again i would have used vette pulleys and accessories. I would use all vette parts as long as you have the vette brackets.

Yes I do have the Vette accessory bracket but like a said ^ I do not have any accessories. And there is no pulleys or waterpump on the motor and I have been told that if you use a maro's pump and pulleys on a Vette block it will mess it up, is that true? Im not asking for a list of what parts I need to make it a running motor. Just a compatibility of what parts will work off a camaro or vette. Like if I find a parts car camaro that has all the rest of my accessories I need, can I take off the parts or will it mess up the motor.

Not sure about wich way the vette parts spin.. I would either go one way or the other. meaning all vette brackets and assesories or all maro. look on ebay for parts. as far as water pumps they are the same. Just get the correct year. you realy should just buy new for reliability anyway. why build a sweet motor and get stranded because of a bad alternator? all you need is a vette alt and ps pump and ac pump/ delete pulley. the rest isnt belt driven.
