LSx Truck Engine Swap to Thirdgen?

I read in one of the stickies that the truck engine accessories do not work in 3rd gens for some reason. Then I see guys putting 6.0L's in their cars. What changed? Can I use a 5.3L in my thirdgen? they are very affordable and I figured that with the right cam, they could scream.

You change the accessory drive from truck to car. You would've found your answer if you had just searched the board. Please take the time to re-read and FULLY comprehend the information that has already been provided in the stickies.
