This should be a straight forward swap if you had an LS1 to start with. Swap your intake and accessories and accessory drive over from your LS1 to your 6.0 and your done..... If you were starting from a V6 Camaro you'll have a few more issues but seeing as you have the motor already installed you have gotten by the most difficult issue.

I believe there should be a boss already cast into the block for the mount, its just not drilled. If you drill it I would measure the depth of that hole in your old LS1 motor and make sure that you do not drill it any deeper.
I don`t think that a truck accy drive would be much help to you since you would have to move the idler pulley down to clear your throttle body, and the alternator would be sticking through the hood.
