The Holley alternator bracket works with the truck alternator and they have spacers available to match the truck balancer.

The question is "why"? Do you want it for looks, or clearance or? Like said, you can use all stock Corvette stuff and bolt it on, or you can buy the Holley stuff, and you can mix and match. There really are a lot of ways to achieve this.

I'm basically going for the look.

The Holley kit is fantastic and will work with any of the spacing needed. Your alternator will work with it, but you will need to purchase a new power steering pump and reservoir setup. You can also swap out your water pump for an f body pump with spacers or use the newer f body pumps that have the same spacing as the trucks. One thing I would recommend is to find an LS6 intake. The LS1 intakes actually make less power then the truck intake.

Here's my setup.
