Default help confirm for ls3 intake swap to ly6

Been doing lots of research and want to get some confirmation on my swap to an ls3 intake.

My ly6 will use DBW, so I should need to swap to a car water pump to clear the solenoid of the TB. Is there any specific model year of camaro that works best?

I also believe I will need an idler pulley relocation bracket and a new, longer belt?

Anything else I am forgetting?

Thanks

The waterpump will be depend on what Front End Accessory Drive (FEAD) you run. One you know what FEAD you want, try searching ROCKAUTO.COM or AMAZON.

Sometimes www.Paceperformance.com has good deals too.

Ok so it looks like with my VVT engine, I am relegated to using the L99 FEAD with what I think is the same belt offset as the truck FEAD. I need to confirm how to best relocate the alternator and use the car water pump with truck accessories.
