Default Ls3 intake on l92 need help pleas

LS3 intake on L92 2007 Cadillac Escalade
Im going to be getting cam and headers for my 2007 Escalade. During my install I want to convert from the ugly l92 intake to the ls3 intake so i can run the corvette covers and make the engine compartment look a bit more sporty

My questions is when switching to the LS3 intake. What can I retain and what will I need to switch between the factory and the LS3 intake as far as fuel lines, injectors, throttle body etc? What about the front of the engine? Will I need to relocate any of the accessories?

If I wanted to relocate the alternator down closer to the power steering pump, could I? If so what beaker could I use. I can see it looking out of place with the much lower ls3 intake on the engine.

Please let me know if I'm over looking anything as well.

Thanks in advance guys!!!

I run the F-body Accesories on mine, you will need LS2/3 Fuel Rails.

Why not just run a LSXR-T, should be pretty "bolt in" for your application.

What if i want to keep all of the accessories where they are and just move the alternator down some? Please refer to pics below. Is there a company that makes adjustable brackets/mounts that i could use in place of the alternator bracket? It looks like the alternator bracket also holds the powerstearing.
