Default Accessory Drive Help

I am gettin ready to piece together my LSx swap into my 1972 El camino. I have found a few motors, but none with accessory drives. What accessory drives are interchangeable between motors, like LS1, LS6, 5.3, ect? I found an LS6 but dont really want pay almost a grand for accessories if LS1 or 5.3 accessories will work. Thanks for you help guys!

They are all interchangeable for the most part. Definitely the LS1 and LS6 parts.

It is not so much 5.3, 5.7 or 6.0 accessories.. but more on the class of car/truck that the Accessories need to be kept together or can be swapped between.... Vette, F-Body or Trunk...those were the 1st three accessorie style.. now you can throw in the GTO and CTS-V but I think those are based on the Vette offset, kept close to the engine.
