Anyone relocated the alternator to compressor location with F-body accessories?

I have to relocate the F-body alternator, it is in the way of the steering shaft going to the rack and pinion (front steer).

I was looking at where the AC compressor was on the passenger side, down low. It looks as though the alternator would fit in there if I reclock the front of it.

I know that 4 groove alternator pulleys are available to match the rear pulley setup of the crank.

Has anyone done this? Any photos?

You would have to make a custom bracket to do this, I haven't heard of anyone doing this before.

I just relocted my Alternator and Sanden A/C to high mount with KWiK Performance brackets.

I have a bracket that will relocate it to the passenger side head using f-body or gto accessories.

Thanks for the information on your brackets, but would much prefer to keep low and out of sight.

A guy named VinhZXT over at hybridz.org did. I don't really like the belt wrap situation in the pic above, but if you were still running the PS pump in the stock location then it may work better.
