Does anyone know if the Chevrolet Performance LSA/CTS-V Accessory Drive System will work in a Gbody (87 GN)

I know the low mount AC wont fit unless i cut a notch in the frame and i am considering doing that.

LSA I think covers your question: https://ls1tech.com/forums/conversio...onversion.html
This, and the looooong G-body swap thread will cover many questions https://ls1tech.com/forums/conversio...est-block.html

The pretty-far-forward stock frame-side mounts are in a dumb location if you're trying to run the low mount compressor. Go for something that bolts to the frame further back.

I believe the Holley G-body swap mounts allow for the low mount AC placement.

The Hooker Blackheart (AKA Holley) G-body engine mounting brackets do allow installation of a low-mount A/C compressor as long as you are speaking in reference to using the Holley low-mount Sanden set-up installed at the truck or F-body FEAD offsets.

I did a cut & rebox on the frame behind my idler arm 17 years ago installing with 99' f-body factory air compressor. Later swapped in a sanden with steel mounts from BRP for factory location & has extra side of compressor to frame clearance. Not sure how close this compares to the cts-v location, but nothing wrong with proper cutting & reboxing a little on a frame if needed.
The area of the pass side frame behind the control arms is a spot some have put a pie cut in the top & some slits down the inside, beat in, & rewelded for extra header clearance in a normally tight spot.
