Default Vortech supercharging my LS1 swap. Help!!

In the process of swapping a LS1 into my 73 Camaro and was originally planning to do it turbocharged but as the parts are adding up it's become clear that it would be much more affordable for me to adapt the brand new Vortech V-1 carbed sbc kit that I acquired a few months ago. Brackets and plumbing are a nonissue I am a fabricator and those are easily build-able and there's plenty of room under the hood to me the only hurdle I'm not sure how to jump is the crank pulley were do I find one that fits? Could I adapt the existing sbc pulley to bolt to the stock LS1 pulley?? Has anyone done this? tips and tricks?? Thanks for the help guys...

Short & sweet:
Where to find or how to build a crank pulley for a LS1 that'll drive my V-1 Vortech Supercharger??

Vortech no longer offers a ls1 set up and doesn't have a crank pulley for on either. I called.. I think the old pulleys were only 8 rib anyways, my v-1 is a 10 rib..

Use the pulley on there 2010 Camaro SS kit.

It bolts up to an ATI dampener and is 10 rib.

Here is the part #'s from Vortech

4MA018-051 7.00" 10 rib crank pulley
4MA018-061 7.80" 10 rib crank pulley

Also have you seen this from Vortech.

First manual on the page is a universal LSX Tuner Kit

Yeah Ive seen the ls1 stuff from Vortech before you can still find kits on their site for the ls1s but I called them and they are all discontinued they didn't even offer pulleys then. Its ok though I think I've figured it out the pulley I have will actually bolt to an ati damper so I'm probably going that route. It's expensive but it looks like it'll work...
