Default LS2 to LS3 acessories

I have a LS2 from a 06 GTO but need the spacing of the LS3 front acessories that is 3/4 inch more forward than the LS2. Could I just by the brackets and new crank pulley? are the power steering pump and alternator the same?

Saying LS3 spacing doesn't make it clear enough. LS3 in what car? The LS2 and LS3 in the Corvette have the same spacing.

Do some searching in the sticky section, I know I have seen an overwhelming amount of info on front drives somewhere on here.

3/4" forward from GTO spacing would be truck spacing. The only LS3 on that spacing is 5th gen camaro. No the various pieces wont work on the camaro brackets, but you can cut 3/4" spacers to use the pieces already present and switch WP/balancer
