Default lt1 accessories on first gen.

Hey guys, im trying to make my first gen fit into my z28, i have the lt1 intake modded to fit on it but now i need all the accessories. I have the entire lt1 setup and was wondering if it would work. Im hoping to use the altenator and power steering pump but idk if i can even do that. Anyone have any ideas for me. Any conversion kits that may work? I was gunna use a SBC bracket setup but i think the power steering pump might be different...Thanks for any help

i was hoping to avoid an electric water pump because i will be driving this car a lot. Ive been told they can be a lil unreliable. But which stock system are you using? The LT1 on the gen 1 or vice versa...

Well, if you do not want the AC to work, use a full serp system from a 88-92 V8 camaro with a 1LE ac delete pulley, use the stock PS pump for the third gen and plumb it into the rack. That is what i was told.
