Now I'm not sure what to do.

Is the aftermarket front sub frame in the way? Do you think it would fit in a stock sub frame?

I didn't take a picture but yes the aftermarket frame (Wayne Due) has the motor sitting pretty low and the unit with the GTO brackets hits the frame right where the a-arms are mounted. Not only that but there is no turning radius with the wheels either cause the tire hits the blower also.

The only option I see is the f-body brackets which put the blower down low on the driverside but I'd have to change my sway bar setup.
Or the Corvette set up and I'd have to ditch my dual fan setup for a single fan and put the fan off to one side.

I think the corvette setup is the only option to go with right now.

Why dont you take alook at the brackets on the Johns nova or brians. I saw the build up pics of your camaro and I bet a corvette system will clear. How much boost are you planning to run? Do you need to run the 8 rib system or a cog?

Its a D1SC so I plan on running 10+ lbs but doesn't the corvette bracket use the factory serpentine system, then it would only be a 6 rib system that I could use. You'd have to change all the accessories to 8 rib or you'd have to move it out even more.

The 6 rib will not support 10 lbs of boost. Procharger sells all the pullies to make your system 8 rib. I really think the ZO6 kit would fit in your car. If I can fit it into a 5" ride height 63 nova both with tire and radiator clearance, I'm sure it should fit in yours. It was tight in brians but it can happen. What is your plan on intercoolers.

If you need some pricing let me know. Procharger will also sell and mock up unit so you can finish fab and then send back the housing and have all the guts put in. Just call me at the shop tommorrow.

Show me pictures of your procharger with corvette brackets with 8 rib pulleys.
they don't list the 8rib on there website.

It looks no different than the unit on Brian or Johns. The spacers are just about a 1/4" longer to compensate for the 2 extra grooves.

Do you have any plans on the intercooler?

It might clear the stock subrame and a-arms but it will eat up some of your turning radius. The inner fender would have to be modified alot to clear the blower.
