LSA Accessory Drives - Limited Options Hello LS1Tech,
I'm in the middle of an LSA swap into my 66 Impala (B-Body) and I'm running into clearance issues with the lower left hand (pass side) AC compressor and lower right side (driver side) alternator. The current locations cannot clear the frame support. So I started looking around and the only options seem to be full accessory replacements (LSX Innovations - $1,875, Concept One - $2,995, CVF Racing - $1,980). I'm sure there are others, but my question is: Are there any solutions out there where I can use my existing AC compressor, Alternator, Power Steering?
Not sure if anyone else has run into the clearance issues with an LSA and was able to reuse the stock accessories? I have seen it done, there was a couple of chevelle's at Good Guys, but I wasn't able to identify the brackets and names/manufacturers. Please let me know if you have any input, guidance, solutions, etc.

I used the 19417908 - Modified LSA Accessory Drive System, w/o AC and added A/C but had to notch the frame to clear the compressor. $1246.13

Thank you LLLosingit for the reference to the kit you used. This helped alot, as I started to look at alternatives to a full blown accessory kit. This led me to the Dirty Dingo kit that enables the relocation of the alternator and AC to a higher position. In addition, I can use my over/under drive Lingenfilter pulleys (which was a big deal so I can increase boost). https://www.dirtydingo.com/shop/prod...oducts_id=1784
I'll post on how effective this kit is with my setup.
