So, Aram....

Are you interested in letting the access go as a package? If so, how much? There are a few of us out here looking. I'd be interested if the price was reasonable.

Not to drudge up an old thread but why couldn't someone use the truck accessories? I've got some pictures of both and other than the vette accessories sitting back a couple inches, the accessories look to be in the same places.

Vette setup (shows LS2 but same setup)

Well, nevermind. Now that I look at them again, the power steering pump on the truck engine looks to hang really low. That would most likely hit the steering box.

The other reason to use the Vette access is that they're shorter than the truck access. And in an S10 conversion, it is space that you really need. I think the difference is about 3 inches. Thats pretty significant.

The F-body access would be good, they're pretty close the the "shortness" of the Vette access, but the placement is all wrong. The steering box and one of the access tries to occupy the same space.

It is possible to use the f body brackets and oil pan if you are willing to spend extra time. I have done one myself in a 2000 extreme. The alternator has to be mounted on the front ot the passenger side head in place of the tensioner. The tensioner is mounted on a home made bracket between the crank pulley and P/S pulley and tightens pushing up toward the water pump. The tensioner pulley has to be changed to a smooth pulley.
