Default 5.3 truck alternater relocation

Anyone have info on doing this? I've heard of removing part of the bracket and relocating it to the passenger side with a smaller s10 alternater. The setup would have power steering pump on driver side and alt on pass side.

If you can fab your own brackets, you can move it anywhere it needs to be. In my sig there is a link to my Thunderbird build where I moved it to the AC compressor location using a custom bracket. The info you are looking for is in post 6.

Just curious.. how's the progress on your install? Did you already complete it? An ls1 in a notch back sounds sick... Much props!!
