Ok, we all know what you do/dont change on a 2.3 to 5.0 swap as far as suspension, wiring, and drivetrain. My question is, are any of the accessories compatible? Would I be able to keep my power steering pump, alternator, etc.?

you could use your alt. but you have to have the 5.0 bracket, you should be able the p/s pump also, but i read somewhere not to use it because its not made to handle the extra weight and will cause you steering to lock up or some BS

Can anyone confirm the power steering as fact? I think that the ac compressor cannot be swapped over....is this true also?
