I'm walking the same line right now. You can use a pedal assy. from the 6 cyl. cars from 1st gen Camaro's or Nova's (forget what years), or the cross-ram pedal, all made for throttle cable. Classic, Ricks and other 1st gen. suppliers carry them for around $50.

Hope this helps, I am no guru, just following other's lead!

I'm using a lokar cable, but it is still in the package. I still need to buy the pedal assy. I'm using a Wayne Due C4 subframe and am using the F-body oil pan without modification wit plenty of room. Also, plenty of room for the Alt., but no clue regarding A/C but it doesnt look like it will fit with the engine 1" further back. Sorry I couldn't be of any help on this.

look on lokar web site , they have a ls1 throttle cable assy, the pedal will be separate from it. use a corvette accy/with a kwik perf a/c bracket. i used the brp mounts and notched my crossmember and put the a/c on the lower pass. side. looks alot cleaner than the kwik perf kit

A/C aside, you can use camaro or corvette drive accessories with the BRP kit in a first gen F-body.
