Re: using a C5 Corvette Alternator PS Bracket
Unfortunately you cant.
The vette has a different pump with a remote reservoir, and the alternator mount points are spaced slightly different.
If you want to use the vette bracket you need the vette crank pulley, and then the vette waterpump pulley along with the p/s, alternator, and idler.

Re: using a C5 Corvette Alternator PS Bracket
I tired this with my s10. you can use the vette bracket with the f-body balancer but you have to space the bracket about 3/4" off the block so the accessories will line up. The f-body alternator will only bolt up using 1 bolt instead of 2 so i wouldnt use it that way. also, the PS pump is also different. the ls1 f-body ps pump looks similar but unfortunately it will not work due to the vette setup using a remote mount setup. if u want to run the vette ps pump, reservior, and alternator, it will work with the f-body setup.

Re: using a C5 Corvette Alternator PS Bracket
You can get the fbody bracket off eBay from a store called Nook and Tranny. They sell all kinds of misc. fbody ls1 parts etc, albiet their shipping price seems to be around $30-35 for every item they sell, no matter how big or how small the thing is ![crazy](https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/images/smilies/crazy.gif)

LOL i noticed that too. I bought a few parts from them. There GM items arent a whole lot cheaper than buying direct from a dealership.
