I'm in the planning stage for my ls swap into a 1980 T/A. I have already bought an all aluminium 5.3 out of a 04 envoy, so I have the engine as well as a ls6 intake with cable TB, and a F body oil pan. I know most use the f-body/ CTS-v serpentine drive system for this conversion, however it appears that many have clearance issues with the alternator. So.... it also appears that the corvette style setup has better clearance with the alternator, so I was considering this setup:

However, in the pic, the water pump looks different from the ls1 style car pump set up. I also know that the crank pulley is different for each set up based on the "offset" needed. So.... my questions are:

1) has anyone used this setup before for this conversion, and what were the results?

2) are the c5 and c6 crank pulley the same?

3) Can you use the ls1 style corvette water pump with this setup?

4) If the answer to 3 is no, can you use the c6 style water pump with the 04 5.3?

Thanks so much in advance for anyone who has any helpful advice.
