Sorry missed the other question, on an f-body I've heard everything works out if you add a hole for the accessories. My vette brackets all bolted on. Thae front and rear covers are the same. Water pump bolts on, as well as intake.

From what I have seen on the boards, one of the mount locations for f-body bracket is present, but has to be drilled and tapped. As far as the c-5 bracket all the mounting spots have a tapped hole to match in the block. I have the block and bracket and have confirmed this, though I have not mounted the A/C bracket, so you are on your own there.
