I have a 1996 chevy tahoe (5.7) vortec engine .. I WOULD LIKE to know if i could use a engine out of a 1995 chevy pick-up truck(1500) which has a(5.7) liter engine(not a vortec) the only diffrences i see are my alternator and ac areon oppisite sides , but if i use the brackets off my vortec engine will the bracket holes line up on the other engine so i could use my original alternator on ac compressor, also would i have to change the intake manifold
