Default front accessories g body 5.3 question?

I have a 5.3 that will be converted to carb, to be installed in a 86 monte carlo.
My question is can any of the truck accessory brackets be used? If not what will i need to go with? I only plan on running alt. and power steering. thanks

I am planning on using the stock truck accessories on my 87 SS because everyone here told me they will fit, it will be tight but will fit.

I know they'll fit under a factory 87 Turbo Buick Hood. Here's a pic of my 6.0L with a turbo.

Default G-body 5.3l Swaps

My G-body swap was LS3 into 85 Monte using Corvette accessory drive w/ a/c, and Cadillac CTS-V oil pan.
