That would clear when it was just bolted it, but i could not adjust the mount to get tension on the belt(i have just a alt to balancer belt, no tensioner.) due to clearance.

Luckily when i crawled back under i saw it was hitting the hardlines that are on the steering rack were they bend up and go into by were the pump lines come in. The car doesnt have PS either, so i threw some vice grips on the line that was hitting and bent it until the alternator cleared and slid back and forth in the adjustment bracket freely.

By this time it was completed it was like 10pm. I didnt want to play the song of my backfiring people that late on the weekday.
