yes it will work.. you just have to cut off the idler pulley and relocate it.. I'll post pics of mine in a second.

I put a LS1 intake on a 6l truck motor so its the same you are doing basically

here are some pics
here you can see where we cut the idler off beside the alternator


here you can see that the idler is now below the alt pulley



***EDIT*** the spacer was perfect but the bolt was too long, i'm not sure if they just sent me the wrong bolt or what but either way it didn't work

I just saw this on a thread by -TheBandit- and decided I'd order the same for my conversion
From Misumi USA (www.misumiusa.com), the spacer is PN KNCLM10-30-20 and cost $5.70. It is nickel plated steel, 10mm ID, 30MM OD and 20MM length. The bolt is PN CB10-160 and cost $2.40. It is M10x160mm length. Total $8.10.

Ive read your post, but I didnt realize you were relocating your idler, is the a bolt hole there, in that bracket, where you have the idler?

I did the same thing, but added AC.
You'll need the truck crank pulley and a new bolt for it.

True since you are putting truck acc on car motor I used a truck motor so I had the crank puller already and I mounted the ac comp in its stock location.
