Default Swapping out T/A accessories for CK type?

I have a 2000 LS1 out of a Trans Am. It is going into my 1971 Land Rover. The alternator is below the power steering pump. Because I spend a good deal of time in heavy mud or fording creeks, I'm concerned about the alternator being destroyed. I want to replace the bracket for a truck version which will relocate the alt up high and the PS pump below. I already have that assembly and it is apparent that things won't line up with the T/A pullies. The question is what other parts do I need to complete this (part numbers would be great)? Will there be interference between the TB and a belt? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Angry Not going to happen

The alternator idler pulley interfers with the TB so the truck setup is out of the question. Only the truck intake manifold is high enough to clear this pulley. On to Corvette parts....damn the luck and the extra cost!
