Default LT1 in 69 Camaro

Was wondering if anoyne knew a place I could get a Power Sttering Pump eliminator Pulley setup. I am putting a 94 camaro LT1 in a 69 Camaro and it does not have power steering.

Need some Help here. Have searched and searched and could find nothing.

Thanks!

I have no idea. you could just take it off and run the belt over where it useto be and just get a shorter belt, I dont know if the 94 LT1 belt is routed different than mine, but I have looked at mine and I think it would work


Edit:
Oh yea, whenever you get that bad boy going post up some pics

It is really pointless to use a LT1 unless your going for that Retro new age muslce car thing

I disagree.
With how simple it is to get 350-400 hp out of an LT1, not to mention its reliabilty or deep exhaust note, I think its a good choice for an engine.

Here's my favorite year Camaro... 1972... A good example of what im talking about.
I believe the engine made about 375 Hp N/A.

Madman has a bracket for your needs, it drops down the alternator where the ac comp would go, very simple set up but if you dont air or p.s, its a good choice. Far as an LT1 in a classic, I think its bad ***, Lt1s make good power for simple set ups.

Dang Burnzilla, That 72 Camaro is freakin nice.
My uncle bought a 73 RS for my cousin recently, hes 14 and wants him to restore it and build it up so he can appreciate the car more, I am going send him that photo for some inspiration.

Good luck with your project! I have done the same thing with my 69 Camaro and I am very happy with the result. It's hard to tell from the picture of this bracket, but if it moves it to far down, the alternator might hit the crossmember like the AC comp would if it were there. If it does work, it will sure cleanup the top half of the engine. If you have any questions about the install, let me know I can try and help.

What the hell are you guys talking about? A Modded SBC VS a modd LT1?

Are you kidding me? LT1s are forever FUCKED Because of the heads because you can only take them so far.


SBC is more capable than a LT1 when it comes to modding


Geuss what you laugh at SBC but then for big power PEOPLE CONVERT THERE LT1s SO THEY CAN RUN SBC AFTERMARKET HEADS

Huh, I thought someone in this thread needed some help somewhere? Now it's turning into a SBC vs SBC debate?

It's OK. Everyone has their own opinions and tats just what they are.

Fact is, the only thing left LT1 on this engine is the block.

We have added AFR heads, Carb Shop Carb, Rear MSD distributor, ATI Pro-Charger (22lbs Boost) Forged Crank, Rods etc...

So, although I say LT1, its only and LT1 block..

Now, everyone can wonder why in the world we would use a 2 bolt main block with all this juice.... Keep wondering while we pass you

Thanks For everyones Input!
