LS1 part identification help please

Hey all,
I just bought an LS1 basket case and am assembling the engine for my gta. The guy had two donor cars and built one for his rx7 and had all the other stuff left over which basically equated to a machined and cleaned block and crank, as well as heads, intake and 3 rubbermaid bins of parts. with my having no LS1 experience, identifying everything i have is where i'm running into issues, which is where i need your help.


I've found all the engine diagrams on ls1tech to inventory everything I have except for the accessory brackets. can some of you supply me with photos of your factory power steering brackets and alternator brackets (preferably bare or off the engine)? i have determined that I have 2 ac brackets doing some ebay research (from a 4th gen camaro/transam) but can't identify anything else. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
thunder

This is essentially the LS1 f-body layout for the accessory drive (alternator bracket is bottom right)

Re: LS1 part identification help please

awesome.. thank you. this is turning out to be quite a task... if nothing else the bucket of bolts and small brackets is going to be a blast to figure out. is there anything that gives an index of what size/type bolts go where?

Re: LS1 part identification help please

use bolts that go about 1" in the hole. also remember that it is aluminum also. if all else torque them to spec.
