Intake options with cowl induction hood

If you do the conversion with a cowl induction hood can the truck intake fit under the good and do you still need a different alternator bracket when using a 5.3 out of a truck? I know I will have to swap the oil pan one way or the other and since I want a fiberglass lift off hood just wondering what I can keep that people with a standard hood wouldn't be able to keep.
I also thought an intake system with a rear pointing intake was made for a car and was wondering if so could I or would I want to point it towards the cowl opening to take advantage of the fresh air intake?
