Any V-belt LT1 intake swappers...pics?

I received my LT1 intake from John Millican and I'm going to begin the install this weekend. Any heads up on the Alt. and AC brackets? Anybody mount the T-stat anywhere besides the fender? Any other experiences or pics would be greatly appreciated.

"Iroc and roll" posted this pic a while ago. He was creative in mounting the remote t-stat.

I'm probably gonna have hell getting the AC to bolt back up. It gets too hot here in Texas to think about ditching it. It looks like his fuel lines are over on the firewall. Mine are right in front of the water pump. I'm going to take my time on this and try to get it right the first time and make it look nice too. Stay tuned for more questions...John, you've been great!

Here's a pic of Ryan's (Iroc n Roll) shaved down alternator bracket. We had to shave it down to fit the intake ducting and clear some sensors.

We didn't keep the AC in the car, as you can see, our remote-t-stat housing now rests where the AC used to.

The car seems to "feel" pretty mean in the higher RPMS but I haven't got any serious numbers on it yet. Heads and cam are next, as well as PROM tuning. Your going to have to route your fuel lines back towards the firewall. Stock TPI lines are in front near the water pump, but every LT1 has the lines in back near the firewall.
