Accessory drive with ChassisWorks subframe... what fits?

[AWDPete]

The LS motor is here, and the Chassisworks front clip is here for my '68 Camaro. Now I need to get an accessory drive that will have provisions for: PS pump with remote reservoir, alternator, AC compressor and a Dry-Sump pump. Not wanting to spend a fortune on "bling" I just want a functional "trouble-free" setup that works.



I am looking at factory setups, specifically the 'vette C6 and Caddy CTS drives as these will both work with the dry-sump setup I want to use while still staying tight to the motor. While I have the basic dimensions and layout of both these setups I am missing one crucial dimension: how far back does the AC compressor go? This will determine if it will hit the motor mount and appears to be the major area of interference.

So to anyone here running an LS in a Chassisworks subframed first Gen - what are you running for accessory drives?

I've been wondering about this myself. I'm running a LT1 with a Z28 accessory drive, and it fits in the Chassisworks frame fine, whereas stock frames need to notch for the AC comp. I'll be switching to an LS setup at some point, not sure what stock setups will fit. All cars I see with LS engines, and aftermarket frames usually spend the cash on a fancy Concept One or Frontrunner setup. I'm also wondering which long tube headers will work, with good ground clearance.
