LS accessory Drive
I know this subject has been worn out! But I have a 72 that I am installing a LS3 in. I have done a search on the site regarding the accessory drives that will work on the car and F body seems to be the one. But I am finding out that a F body accessory kit is very hard to find. Apparently GM does not sale the F body kit like they do the CTS V and Y body kits. I am aware of Kwik performance but don't really like the way it looks. Any other ideas?? Thanks

Ventura Speed Center, KRC power steering and Wegner automotive all make really nice LS stuff along with Vintage Air just make sure your sitting down while looking at pricing. I'm doing a Ventura set up but had to revamp their power steering pump bracket to clear the upper control arm shaft.

Are you opposed to using a corvette accessory system?
That is what I used on mine and the only thing that does not work is the power steering pulley. The correct dorman pulley is something like $12 so it isn't a huge deal.
The Holley A/C bracket matches the factory GM stuff very well if you are adding a Sanden compressor.

No I am ok with using Y body accessory if it will work but I was just worried about the power steering. But I think you have answered my question. You just got a smaller power steering pulley? Thanks

Here's mine. The big difference is location of the power steering & alt. My PS is on top.
PM me for details.....it is low cost compared to other options. Its a Josh special if you know what I mean.

I don't have the number, just went to the Junk Yard and pulled a couple and tried them. If you use a Corvette pump it has a larger shaft diameter, so make sure you get the right one for your pump.

The Dorman pulley I used was part number 300-301
I purchased it on amazon for $13.99 with free shipping.
