Default 5.3 in my 93 chevy truck

I am putting a 5.3 in my 93 extended cab truck. Does anyone have a pic of the mounts they used? I have notched the frame for the compressor, but I am concerned that the truck accessories will not work. Any thoughts would be great. This place has a wealth of information and is highly appreciated.

No reason that the 5.3L truck accessories shouldn't work. Don't have any pictures of the mounts, but if I remember right, they also use a Clam Shell mount. You can try adapting them or just convert over to the early style mounts, or even adapt the 5.3L frame mounts.... either way, it should work out ok.

go to ls1truck.com, LSX conversions forum, look at my thread. i have a 1994 gmc ext cab 1500, 5.3/4l60e in it. it is not done, but there are plently of pictures at the moment as well as some other stuff. I started the thread after I started the swap so it is mainly missing motor mount pics and a GOOD picture of the a/c notch. I also address my issues with trans-dapt conversion plates not working with the stock clams.
HERE'S the link.
