Default fbody accessories

I'm trying to figure out if the cts-v accessories are exactly like the fbody. if so, getting all new parts for less than 800 is a pretty good deal.

i know it's a long shot, but if someone has one of these motors out with the accessories on there, and could confirm the measurements. it's only a few minutes of work, but finding someone that has the easy access is the the tough part

That diagram is from GM? Wow, not even close

The PS pump is different from F-body to GTO/CTS-V in being a detached reservoir. Most everything else looks the same but cross reference the bracket PNs at the dealership before going with it

Knowing GM, its likely similar to the B-body vs F-body LT1 accessories. Look identical but nothing interchanges directly

And remember those kits do not include the water pump or harmonic balancer, so keep in mind that stuff will need to be purchased also.

The CTS-V and F-Body accessories are not interxhangeable. You need the LS3 damper and water pump for the former. The CTS-V belt is 22mm closer to the engine than the F-Body.
