Default Is there a lower profile water pump/front acc?

I have a 5.3 going in a regal. Would love to put the gt4788 in-between the radiator and engine. The truck accessories and water pump stick out pretty far. Is there an option for a lower profile front accessories? All I am running is an alternator and water pump. Trying not to cut the car up, so moving the radiator is not an option at the moment. I'm new to these engines and don't know all the options.
Here is what I got so far. I'd like to fit the turbo in front before I pipe the hot side.

Thanks!

You could remote mount an electric pump, seen a few LS1 jetboats do that

Going to the corvette balancer, WP, alt bracket will move the belt back 1 1/2". Maybe another 1" clearance since the vette WP doesn't have the fan snout. Mezerie makes a remote electric pump/thermostat. If you move the alt to the f body position (low drivers), that combo would give you a lot of room.
