Default L83 motor swap(power steering) help!

i have a 2015 l83 that I am swapping into my 86 K5 but am unsure what to do when it comes to the accessories (mainly vacuum line, power steering, ac)... Could I unbolt the 2015 accessories and bolt on some from like a gen 4 or 3? Or is there a better option? Don’t want to break the bank... thanks!

Use the gen5 acc. Ict billet makes a power steering bracket setup tht will work. U just have to get a corvette pump. I used this setup on a 74 c10 i installed a l83 in. Tht was 3 yrs ago. Still doing fine today!

Thank you for the help! I just purchased the ICT bracket and power steering pump and can’t wait to put it on. What did you do for headers? I’d really like long tube headers but I’m can’t find info on what will clear.

also, I bought a walbro 255lph in tank fuel pump. Is it easy to set that up to work with the pulse width module?
