Default Converting 5.3L Vortec to LS1

I plan on building a 5.3L L33 but i know the accessories stick out 5" forward.

What all do i need to make it the same set up as an f-body or vette?

it looks like the trucks use a full accessory bracket where as the cars use smaller individual brackets bolted to the heads and such.

Also are the water pumps the same?

Thanks,
Jeff

the water pumps arent the same and in order to switch to a fbody set up you would need all of your accessory brackets and pumps etc. from a fbody as well as the water pump and balancer
