When it comes to reliability, ease of install and the lack of headaches that seem to plauge most turbo guys, it was a no-brainer for me to decide to go Procharged. I'm seriously thinking of using the A&A C5 bracket though. As Inspector12 said I could just shim it out to mate up with my drive pullies and should be ok. I do have my radiator support cut and I don't see a problem with it fitting. Look at the pic below of a huge T6 flanged tubo where I'm wanting to put the charger.

I've been looking into the same Procharger set up on an F-Body LS1 engine. I cant use the LS1 F-Body Procharger due to the lack of room on the drivers side. Mine is an LS1 in a 92 Camaro. Setting the procharger up on the passenger head is the only option for me. If someone figures out the bracketry for it they would make a killing from the thirdgen LS1 guys and probably alot of other Hybrid guys. I cant run C5 accessories dut to the steering box on the 92.

Look at the GTOs on this page: http://www.procharger.com/gallery/se...et=2&offset=10
Do you think you might have the room for that kind of setup?

Im surprised nobody has answered specifics.
The vette accessory drive, sits 1" closer to the engine. The water pump is the same though.
Crank pulley, PAS, alternator brackets are obviously different.
Pretty sure both A&A and ECS offer 8 rib upgrades for their Vortech and Paxton blower kits respectively.
ECS also do a 10 rib, which on a Vette, is a very very tight squeeze due to steering rack location. I would guess that it would be a doddle on an F-Body though.
The obvious place to ask or look for pics, is here.

Thanks for your input. I think that alot of guys aren't shouting out answers because nobody has actually done it. There are already kits for the F-body so no need to fab one up. I for one don't like those kits and want to do a custom mount. Everybody pretty much already anwered my questions in their replies. As far as room to mount it there, I have enough in my setup. As long as there are no little differences other than the pully alignment, I should be ok. All I would really have to do is take the spacers that come with the kit and have a machine shop make me up some that are identical but 1" or so longer. Don't have any info on the ECS setup, but I like the A&A package and I think most guys who have it have said it works very good.

If you can wait till tomorrow I'll get you a link to a site that shows the A&A ECS and ATI brackets naked so you can see the differences. Yes, any sponsor that is an ATI dealer on here can get the bracket assembly seperately. Bob at Exotic is one of them. He can get you a price.

Okay, it doesn't show the ECS stuff and its the older A&A setup so the link is a bit dated. Sorry about that, but you might get something from it.

Its not going fit unless you move the radiator to a vertical position. The regular ATI system head unit sits by the alt where the radiator is angled at the bottom and that barely fits. Your wanting to mount it at the top where the radiator is closest to the engine. I have already tried it, I even ordered a A&A bracket for the measurements. Good luck.

i know nobody has posted about this lately but is there an update?? I am curious as well because I am unsure about using only 2 bolt hole's in the bracket on my 6 litre iron block as well.I don't think it will be any big deal using the c5 bracketry as long as you convert your accesoris as well.I believe this is the way i am going to go.???

From Photo 1 you can see that the A&A bracket is held off the cylinder head with 2 tube spacers and two bolts off the water pump. The ProCharger bracket has no spacers, and bolts a 1 3/4" chunk of billet right to the face of the cylinder head itself."

there is only 2 bolts that hold the bracket on the A&A setup... makes you think, huh?
im not gonna worry about my 2 bolts in my iron block unless i see belt dust or any other small maintenance issues around the blower...
