Just depends on how he is doing the install. Truck FEAD? What motor mounts? Stock coil location? Going to need a a/c bracket or do some fitting to use the stock truck location. Depending on the motor mounts you use ... You might need to clearance the a/c blower housing for coil clearance. You are going to have to research and pick an oil pan. Truck pan hangs mandingo low. cts-v is 1/2-3/4 low. Fbody is tucked above but requires the engine pushed back to the max or cut the crossmember. Thats only some of the things. Good luck!

The truck accessory drive to include the ac compressor will fit well with the spohn motor mounts. They take a bit more effort to install but well worth the effort. The ac box should not need to be modified either.
