In attempting to install the F-body pump on the LS1, my suspension cradle is slightly too narrow. I looked at my 1998 Sonoma with 2.2L, and the pump is similar, with a 5 1/2" pulley rather than 6 1/2".
Has anyone:
1. Used a different GM pump and pulley assembly successfully for a clearance issue? Will the Sonoma pump or another vehicle work?
2. Know which pulleys from other GM vehicles interchange on the F-body pump?
I see that the 04+ GTO pump may work, but do not like it's translucent reservoir. It just looks bad. Visual is 90% of hot rodding.
Perhaps I could use it and setup a remote reservoir under the fender?
