Default Need help with A/C bracket on Lsa swapped 5.3.

Hey, so I’m sort of in the middle of swapping an Lsa blower on my Lm7. I have the blower, installed a 2.4 pulley, and I’m about to install a new set of 1 7/8 longtubes. Now my next step is going to be replacing the accessory drive. I’ve been looking for a while, but I decided to go with the Lsx concepts corvette accessory drive, without Ac shown here:
https://www.lsxconcepts.com/collecti...c#.WXe9voUpCaM

Now from what I understand, corvette and Lsa spacing is the same. I’m currently running 4th gen f body accessories, with the factory Ac compressor location. I plan on pairing this Lsx Concepts set with an Lsa water pump and Lsa crank pulley, most likey gonna pin it as well. For the blower drive I’ll probably have to pick up a different sized tensioner pulley for the 2.4 pulley, but that should fit no problem.

Soooo, my question is with the A/C compressor. Will my current f body compressor and bracket line up with the Lsa crank pulley, or will I need to swap over to an Ls3 compressor and bracket? Or are the corvette and Camaro compressors the same, and can I just swap the ls1 bracket for an Ls3 bracket? Any help is greatly appreciated!
