Default what goes where? Supercharger help

I need a little help finding out which supercharger mounts in the following picture. A freind of mine said there was one that did, so I searched around trying to find out with no luck. I was gonna go with a turbo set up, but do to the tight spaces in the car (Ls1 fd rx7), I've been toying with the idea of a supercharger. thanks,

-John

Procharger mounts on that side for the C5 and C6 vettes, for an F-Body they mount on the other side but at the bottom if I'm not mistaking...

thanks, does anyone have the dimensions of the c5 procharger kit, i saw some pics of it, and I'm a little worried about it hitting the hood. I need to know how far it comes foward from the head, and High it is in relation to the head. thanks, and sorry if this is a stupid question...

The C5 bracket will not work for an Fbody. It will have clearance issues with any type of hood; stock or aftermarket. Plus the bracket will not align the belt with the rest of the pulleys.

The motor is out of a 2002 camaro, and I'm not sure what head unit it is (I don't know what that means) If you can tell me how to find out, I'll go take a look at it.

I just went outside and took a few more pics to get an idea of space. Let me know what you think (enough room or not).







This one is just to give an idea about hood clearance:


thanks for all the help, and please keep it coming!

It's not just about room... You also have to worry about the rotation of the blower, what kind of brackets it uses, and how you can run your piping... I would just run it like EPP did... If they could put it on that side they probably would...

It's a really tight fit down there. does anyone have the dimensions of that mounting set up? Like how far forward it is in relation to the alternator and how wide it is.
