72 Nova Build 5.3 Hi - I’m currently in middle of 5.3 single turbo build for my Nova. Looking for feedback on turbo manifold that will clear steering box on drivers side. Plan to set the turbo on the passenger side, but being single turbo I wasn’t planning on using forward manifolds on both sides. If i did, I’d need to relocate my alternator etc on drivers side. First build like this, so any input would be greatly appreciated.

Look at Holley's turbo manifolds. The driver's side exits down to the rear, then a crossover goes under the engine and goes up the passenger side to join the rear of the passenger side manifold. Turbo goes as you said
I heard Steve's Novasite had a good swap forum. Also if you come up empty we have an LS First Gen group on facebook.
I don't know that my '67 Camaro stuff applies but I'm running v-banded truck manifolds with a stock manual steering box. I have my alt mounted up high on the pass side with ICT Billet bracketry.
