Default Am I overlooking anything

I have started piecing together the accessory drive for the LS1 in my El Camino. I discovered that I needed to move the engine up and forward so the AC would clear the crossmember. This will also raise the oil pan so it doesn't hang below. This required new motor mounts. I have mocked up the motor mounts and need to make the towers from the frame. I am going to shorten the motor mount height to make room for the frame towers. Before I start doing so I thought it a good idea to let others look and see if I might be missing something regarding clearances or any other issues.

The alternator is very close to the steering box. I am planning on going with the Lee streering box, but have not seen a side by side comparison for dimensions. I have read that overall it is smaller.

Old Motor Mounts:



Oil Pan Clearance (Lack of):



New Mounts:









Clearance:







Thanks
