Do I need to move my Alt for my swap Like it says I am doing and LS1 swap into a 69 Nova and just wanted to know before I go and try to drop the motor in in about 2 weeks. Do I need to either buy special motor mounts so I dont have to knotch the frame or move the Alt. The motor I have is a 99 Camaro Z28 engine and like you all know the Alt. sits on the lower driver side and I have read some post that say you have to move the Alt. Others say notch the frame and some make it work. Well I am trying to be that guy who makes it work. I just need to know is there a special set of motor mounts i need to make the engine sit higher. Or is it not an issue either way. Please some one help me out on this.

Alt brackets I also used a 99 LS1. Eliminated the ps pump and made a simple bracket to move the alt high on the same side. NAPA has any length belt to fit. Let me know if you need details of this set-up.
