OK, during lunch worked a couple of test fits.

First, the bracket that was on the passenger's head (held the wire loom and ground cable). had to be removed. We'll need to relocate the ground too.

First, removed the bracket from the wire harness:

Removed (note the bolt hole on the head near the left. This is where the bracket and ground was on the L99 setup):

Loom:

Now, test fit the pulley assembly (custom made and I believe patent pending by ADM!) and the Tensioner:

Tensioner (note where we have to put the wiring path now):

Really need to tuck the wires:

ADM's custom pulley assembly. Note we use the original bolt holes and have to remove the water pump bolt (middle of the three on the passenger's side of the pump):

Now, we need to test the 'new' location for the body ground cable. For the L99, it was on the head here:

Manual:

For the ZL1/LSA, its bolted on the head still, but on the 'manifold' side:

So, same cable, different side. I reused the original ground cable stud:

And test the fit here:

Good to know the LSA had this location!

At least I was able to leverage the 2011 and 2013 GM manuals (I have the 2011 for my 2SS and 2013 for the ZL1/LSA/SC -- really helps!).

I will have to test the fit with the headers. From the looks of things, I'll have to grind the stud 'washer' down a bit so things will line up.

I do know the other ground that was on the L99 head (near the middle) had no issues with the headers...

More to come
