Default Powersteering and alternator question

I bought a 2004 RCSB Sierra with no engine. Have a complete L99 out of a 2010 Camaro to put in it.

Doing some research I found the truck ps pump puts out more flow then car pumps. Will the car pump work? Is this something I will notice in steering effort?

Haven't got around to researching yet, but will the truck harness for the alternator work with the camaro's alternator?

Thanks for any help,
Josh

The crank/belt spacing is different on the cars vs the trucks.

You'll probably want to stick with the car pump.

My measurements show the 5th gen Camaro is same offset as NBS trucks. The Balancers look identical

Depends on what cars you are talking about. Corvettes are closest to the block. Trucks and 5th gen Camaros are the furthest away. I am unsure of the rest like the 4th gen Camaros and cts-v but they are somewhere in between

Re-reading my question, it is a little muddy. Let me rephrase.

Will the lower gpm Camaro power steering pump work with my trucks steering box?
