I just pulled off the stock idler and the bottom bolt on the alt will go into 1 of the old idler holes and made a adjustable bracket for the top. Mines goin in a camaro with vintage air u cant use the newer ac compressors (something with variable output????) so i bought a sanden off a 90 corrado and gonna move it closer to the block with a custom mount.
