Default 70 camaro lsa install help

Good evening
new to site. Have a 70 camaro, stock powder coated front frame tied into a set of competition eng frame rails with dse mini tubs that have 2 extra inches added to them and a 9 in rear. I have just purchased a lsa motor out of a 2013 zl1 camaro that has lingenfelter heads crank pulley, and a kenne bell 3.2 supercharger. the a/c mount is down low on passenger side and the alt is low on drivers side.
Anyone have any help with this set up as to what mounts or kit to use and are there any issues on the low mount ac and alt ? Thanks in advance. or even a good company that I can get info from on this build.

Someone in the lsa blower swap thread did one on a 2nd gen and notched the frame, and used the low mount brackets from Kwik performance

Ok. I'm still searching for my engine swap kit. I'm thinking of using the Holley oil pan and the BRP hot rod muscle rod kit. Has anyone used this kit before and pros cons

Go 98-02 Fbody pan (entire pan kit through www.paceperfprmance.com is cheaper than the Holley pan.) 1" setback swap plates, Dougs LS swap headers.

Default Holley mounts

I would use the Holley mounts, pan, and exhaust. Save yourself the headache. The engine will sit nice and low, and have the correct driveline angles. If u go with the brp mounts, pick yourself out a nice big hood scoop. You will need it.
