Default Any G-bodys running F-body accessories???

Are there any G-body cars running F-body accessories on their engine with the A/C compressor & Alt in the stock location? I have a 5.3 & I already have my frame notched for the compressor but I want to see if the Alt clear the power steering box or interfere with anything else. Pics will help a lot

I don't have any mounts right now. I'm trying to see which mounts will work for what I'm trying to do before I go spend some money on some that will not work. Are there certain mounts that I should stay away from while trying to get both of them down low?

I ran into issues with the transdapt 1in set back plates and stock clamshells. The alt hit the alt in the stock position. To solve that issue i used the Speedway motors ls1 alt high mount kit..As for a/c i'm not going to figure that out right now, BUT i do have the Kwik performance a/c mount kit in mind.

I have the normal plates you see everywhere, no issues with the alternator. I'm using Fbody accessories, no AC.

I am using the Dirty Dingo mounts. There is no way you can run the a/c in the stock location. I am also runnign the truck accessories. Clearance is good with the F body pan.
