Are you keeping the power steering? I can check, but someone ( maybe Madman racing ) makes a setup where the PS is relocated to the DS and the alt goes where the AC would be. This really cleans up the bay because you loose the entire mounting bracket.

Just my opnion here, but keeping the stock bracket but with a pulley instead of the alt up top really doesn't do a whole lot to clean things up.

I polished my bracket and alt, 97TransAM had his alt and bracket powder coated black to match the car/engine bay and it makes it more appealing.

well i don't think i could run both power steering and alternator but it might work. the only big issue is that reverses pump direction (stock spins clockwise) so that involves new pump, lines, and reservoir. definitely a nice link for possible future application, just trying this out on the cheap-o for now. thanks!

yeah where those two bolts are is where the pump mounts. its a smooth pulley. the belt is contained the the passenger side and the electric air pump is on the driver side.

i have the idler pulley mounted, just haven't had my camera with me or the setup home.
