Default LS swap help

Hi guys im doing a 6.0L swap in my 93 fox body, Im wondering what oil pan i need and if there is a company that makes an alternator bracket for the alternator alone as im only running an alternator and water pump. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

You have this setup
http://www.cbrperformanceproducts.com/category_s/45.htm
some guys get rid of the idler and just bolt one side of the alternator to its mount and the other side with two spherical end threaded together as a adjuster. depending on what mounts/kmember your using will decide on the oil pan. Im working on a foxbody swap myself there and there are so many different ways to do this but there is tons of info on this forum between the conversion section and forced induction section

This is a pic of the short belt set up used on LS1's using the stock brackets. I used the F body oil pan from a 1999 trans am in my 1991 mustang. I am using the same short belt set up on my car and have had no problems.
