G-body swap thread too.
Little more info always helps. Year Elco, what engine your using, accessories etc.

I used the BRP mounts when I stuck my 00 z28 ls1 in my 87 monte carlo...didn't have to relocate the alternator, but it is tight...I have some pictures of the alternator and steering gearbox area if you'd like to see them.

Doesn't sound like I'll be much help then lol. I'd opted out of the headers for now to buy the rest of the stuff to get it running and driving so I was using the stock camaro manifolds. Unfortunately some DA pulled out in front of me and the car is totalled so I guess maybe i'm lucky i didnt put them on yet. Any particular pictures you're looking for? I have a few, but hadn't taken hardly any pictures. Was waiting to get all the wiring and few leaks I had fixed before a photoshoot.

I just used the F-body harness. Theres a few wires from the old harness that I used for power supply and ignition stuff. Here's a pic of the alternator area and gear box...
