Gen V LT L83 frame stand/Motor Mount question

Hey guys,
I have been reading up, but haven’t seen the differences addressed. I’m putting a L83 in a 68 c10. I want to retain the vacuum pump. I am using a kwik performance power steering bracket w/high mount Sanden ac compressor.

If I use dirty dingo motor mounts with the SBC frame stands, does it make a difference if I use the stands in the 6 cylinder position or the 8 cylinder position? Will it clear the vacuum pump? Will one position clear the stock truck oil pan on the crossmember?

If I use dirty dingo motor mounts with squarebody frame stands with clamshells, on the 68 crossmember, the vacuum pump should clear, but will I still have to notch the crossmember if it’s not a squarebody crossmember?

On the dirty dingo websight it says the vacuum pump won’t clear on 68 stock mounts, but doesn’t delineate between 8 cylinder or 6 cylinder position frame stands.
It also says the vacuum pump will clear with on square bodies, but says you must notch the crossmember with the stock l83 oil pan.

I also know ICT sells brackets too, but haven’t figured out if they can be mismatched around easily.

Just seeing if anyone has used any of these combos?

Thanks for the help all!
Shawn
