Most compact front accessor drive kit and other swap parts?

[jlwdvm]

I finally bit the bullet and got my LS ordered... a 570 horse LS3 from Texas Speed. I am looking for some input on who has the most compact front accessory drive kit (no AC) for the LS motor going into a 69 Firebird with stock sub frame. Looking for one that doesn't have the alternator so far up and out on the driver side. Also looking for motor mounts, frame mounts, trans cross member for T56, headers, oil pan for road course driving, etc. Any input would be great!

I've always been a fan of the stock 4th gen Fbody accessories. .02

I like the Concept One kit. Thats what my car will get.

Had the same dilemma. I built my own, works great.

the Vintage Air LS Frontrunner is the most compact I have seen,I have bought 4 of these kits and they are super nice.http://www.detroitspeed.com/Drive-Sy...t-runner.html#

I've been really happy with my Wegner setup. I don't know how they compare in terms of being compact with the Vintage Air setup, but it has to be pretty close. Mine does have AC, but I know they have plenty of kits such that you can determine which works best for you.

The WAK-033 kit is really nice because of the high-wrap on the PS pulley, although it does have AC.

2x re:Wegner. We are running it on our 73 TA. It's much more compact than the accessory drive on my 69 Camaro from Speed and Performance. The guys at Texas Speed recommended the Autokraft oil pan and dingo motor mounts and I've had good success with the DSE motor mounts. Check out Mark Stielow's build thread Camaro XV for some great info regarding parts selection and build recommendations. Good luck with the install. Sounds like a cool project.

Ventura Speed Center LS drive from their SEMA 68 Camaro. Reasonably priced looks good, easily installed.
