Since your quote says you plan on using a 4L60E, I would go with the simply adapter plates like in the photo below (you don't necessarily need the rubber mounts like in the pic. You can reuse your existing mounts, whichever kind you have). They can be had for between $25 and $45 depending on where you get them. There are also pretty easy to make if you have the means.

2. How can I do an alternator-only front belt setup?
|
Once the PS pump is removed, just measure how long of a belt you will need. Thread a piece of string around the pulleys to get a measurement, then start trying belts in that length.

3. Would an LS3 water pump work on an older 6.0? They have the upper hose outlet on the driver side and I would like to avoid the super long upper hose everyone has to use.
|
I can't say for sure on that. I guess the only issue would be how the hose would clear the alt mount. Which makes me think of #2.... if you have any kind of fab skills, do away with the big chunk of aluminum that mounts the alt and PS pump and fab up your own mount.

4. What is better: in-line or in-tank fuel pump?
|
If this is going in your 67, an in-line pump will work best. The most popular for that is a Walbro 255, although there are many others that will work as well.
