Default Vette TPI to LT1 Swap question

Im going to do a nasty LT1 swap in my 88 Vette 4+3 car. I have 1 question............. Will the acc off the stock TPI fit on the LT1? I really wanna keep this a street car, AC PS and all that.

Nope, 88 TPI has a belt driven water pump, LT1 does not. Accessory bracket is different. What are you getting the LT1 from? Because they are different between a Vette version & an F body.

I have the LT1 out of my race car. Im not really worried if the motor will fit in to the vette. If it wont I can make it. I might just look into getting the LT1 Vette acc brackets and make it work. I just wanna a really nice street car again. The "Race Car" thing isnt my deal anymore.

Thanks for the help man.
