Default Truck --> Vette accessories space saving?

Right now I have truck accessories on my engine. I need a little more space in front of the engine and behind the radiator, so I'm thinking "Vette accessories".
Looking at the water pumps though I'm not so sure it will save me space in front of the water pump. Is it really ~ 1 1/2" shorter than the truck unit?

The belt is spaced back 1.5". You may also gain a little more since the vette water pump pulley doesn't stick out as far or have the fan threaded snout like the truck pumps.

Yes, I just put them on myLQ4 swap. You want the C6 pump you can tell by looking at it, the pulley is flat on front vs the round shape of the others.

So, anyone want to refer me to a middlin' - to - cheap Vette spacing bracket kit? I don't want to hunt down small parts to complete it. Any experience with ICT Billet? Dingo? Holley?
C6 pump sounds like the way to go

I've seen the new holley installed, very nice piece at a great price. Good reviews everywhere too. It does require the vette PS pump.
