Default need an alternator bracket

did some seareching but cant find what i need. give you a lil info. i put a body of a 71 vwbug on a s10 frame with a 5.3 ls. the alternator is to high and it hits the hood. i need to know what bracket system i can use to lower the alternator. i have also eliminated the power steering so i no longer need the pump. i dont want to make it if i dont have to. can i use something from another car or does anybody produce something i can use.

The F-body bracket mounts it low on the drivers side.You could shim iy out 3/4" to match the rest of your truck accessories.
