Default Ls3 power steering pump & relocation brackets

In the coming weeks, I’m getting ready to swap a 2015 LS3 into my 71 cutlass instead of the ‘08 LY6 and I’ve run into a few minor snags.1) The engine has no power steering pump. 2) Due to clearance issues I need to relocate my alternator & A/C compressor to a mid or high mount. So my question is, does anyone know of a one and done kit to eliminate these issues? I love the compact look of the corvette but I know the spacing is different. Please help.

I love the Holley Mid mount kit in mine. Love it and easy to install! 170 amp alternator and C7 style cartridge type water pump.

Yes I’ve seen the ICT brackets. I’m not a real big fan of how high and far out it places the alt. & compressor. Also I was hoping for something a little more subtle. Besides drooling over the mid mount kit, I haven’t looked into any of their options. I guess it’s time to look a little deeper.

Are you working with a Corvette or Camaro LS3?
We have a lot of options for brackets, especially in LS3 Camaro/Truck Spacing. Feel free to PM me, or give our sales team a call or email, and I'm sure we can help you out.
