I wouldn't waste your time/money with one of those. You are probably going to want to remove EGR so you'll have to get a tune anyways. Just have it tuned out when you get a tune. Even if you keep EGR, I recommend getting a basic email tune since LT1's run a little rich from the factory tune.

Oh ****, lol, I thought this was a vette that was originally equipped with a LT1, I guess I don't know my older vette's that well by looks alone, never checked the year in your sig. 
Yeah, I think you'll have to find all the corvette LT1 front accessories.

This might work, I had this bracket at one time, actually owned the prototype red a/c delete bracket shown in the pic:

I'm making my own brackets now because I want a different alternator and power steering pump.

You could sell your factory-style a/c delete bracket and put the money towards that $105 bracket kit. What I'm thinking is that bracket will be a lot cheaper than buying LT1-corvette brackets, corvette accessories, corvette power steering hoses, corvette power steering reservoir, and corvette pulley. You also get a new belt with that bracket which probably is worth $20.
yeah im thinkin about it right now. im jsut really not sure if itll work too. i dont have much room in that little area for things. i know that delete pulle yis a little higher then the other one but dunno if itll be high enough. guess ill have to wait for my next unemployment check haha.
