So this might be a stupid question but I haven't really found any info on it. I was wondering lets assume you can make brackets for it but why can't you use the third gen p/s and alternator and air conditioning? Seems to me that if you just swapped them to serpentine you would be fine?

 

I assume you are talking about an LS swap.

If you're using a factory LS PCM, it controls the alternator and AC.

But, I guess there's no particular reason you couldn't fabricate brackets and use the 3rd gen parts. Many swappers have used the 3rd gen AC compressor.

Since I started with an f-body LS1, it was simpler for me to use those accessories (although I didn't hook up AC - yet, anyway...).

 

I did exactly that. Read "budget swap"

Therers quite a bit of measuring/work involved in it. Its definitely not an afternoon job

 

Ok so could I tune out the alternator? and off to go read now! thanks

 

No tune required when removing the computer controlled alt

 

Alright sweet! Your thread about the budget build is awesome btw! any chance you want to ship those patterns to me
