Default Is there an LS1/6 with a dry sump and the A/C?

I have been searching all over car boards for about 2 days now, trying to find someone who has done a dry sump oiling system on an LS1/6 and still used the A/C compressor, Alt, and P/S systems. Is there one out there? Does such a thing exist? If it does, can you guys direct me to pics, Email, or a website?
Thanks for the help.

There is no way to dry sump an LS1 without pulling the AC pump. That is the only space that would allow for a pump. There just isnt enough space for both the dry sump pump and the ac pump. Not only that but the only bracket available for a dry sump pump on the LS1 is the AC bracket.

teetoe, if the engine is going in that camaro, then why not relocated the a/c? There are some companies that sell custom brackets.

Yeah, it is going in my 68 C5 based Camaro. I know that I can move my A/C compressor up to the pass side head, but I wanted see pics of some one who has done it. I know with enough fab work, I can mount anything, but I figured someone out there has done a dry sump with the A/C.

It's an oiling system that uses NO oil sump....no depression in the pan for oil to collect
