Default Can LS2 GTO alt and PS brkts be used with a truck waterpump?

I'm swapping a LS2 into a 57 Chevy sedan. I am wanting to use a truck waterpump and fan clutch, with the GTO's alternator and PS brackets, so I can run the mechanical fan set-up. Can this be done?

No, the truck pulley is about 3/4" too far out.

If you add spacers behind the brackets to align the pulleys then they will work. Like said above the truck accessories run about 3/4 of an inch farther out.

Thanks for the advice. I think I will try to make it work with spacers.
