think i know answer just need confirmation

97 tahoe 5.7l. Can i reuse the serpentine brackets in my firebird or is there no room. 3 inch cowl hood though i dont think thats gonna help with the alternator and PS. Also going to use the poly motor mounts, i dont want to run into any problems with dyno dons headers, so unfortunatly theres more height that could hurt

never measured with it assembled, Unfortunately my car is 230 miles away from me, Am going up there in 2 weeks too assemble the motor and drop it in. Problem is ill be delayed if it doesnt work and then need to find new brackets lol Or i can buy a set now, wanted to save the $200 if someone had an answer, figured trying wouldnt hurt
