Default Ls1 and Wayne Due subframe

I have searched and searched and I cannot get a definite answer. Will the factory Ls1 A/c compressor fit a wayne due corvette style subframe in a 69 camaro. Also, Are there any long or short tube headers that will fit this subframe?

Thanks

It's not a direct fit. You will need to use the corvette motor mounts and fab up (weld ) mounting plates. If you plan on getting a Wayne Due's front end contact him a see if he will make your subframe specifically for the LS1. I moved my engine back three inches, most 1st gen camaro's you see with an LS1 in them have a big gap between the engine and firewall.
