You can put the whole accy drive from an LS1 onto the truck LQ9, but you have to change everything because the brackets, pulleys, alternator, waterpump, PS pump, A/C comp, etc are all different between the f-body and truck.

I found out the 6.0 blocks do not have the boss for the alternator bracket.

on the flip-side of this one, will the LS1 accept the front accessories and brackets from the LQ engines?

Also, can you bolt and LQ waterpump onto an LS1? I am unhappy with where my water outlet is currently and have been thinking about going LQ waterpump to solve that.

Yes. The accessories are interchangeable (as packages only, you can't swap individual pieces).

Also, make sure you plan on changing the Harmonic Balancer! The balancer must match up with the accessory drive system (truck acc must use truck balancer, c5 acc must use c5 balancer, f-body use f-body balancer, etc).

Note that the truck water pump is longer (closer to the radiator) than the car engine pumps. Not only is the pump longer, but the belt location is moved further out. Not sure if it'll work in place of the LS1 pump (serp belt may run on thin air instead of the pulley).
