I'm now waiting on my holley accessory drive kit, which I should receive this week some time. I did manage to trailer the car to a local car show on saturday and I took second place in the under construction class. Weather was amazing. I love this time of year.

I received my Holley accessory bracket kit today. This is a TOP NOTCH kit. It bolts up easy and looks like a factory vette setup. I should have the reservoir and hoses all taken care of by friday so I can take the car for a real ride.

I ordered the middle placement spacer kit and it includes the spacer for the passenger side A/C also so I will be all set later when I add the A/C.

Cool. When you say "the cheaper alternators" are you referring to the 102 amp F-Body alternators? That is what it looks like you are running. I prefer the 145 amp truck alternators which work on the F-Body mounts but have a slightly larger case. Either way, both are usually in stock at the parts store, unlike the Y-Body piece.

"Now I know what all the hype is about this steering box."
What steering box do you have? I might do the same on my 1965 Skylark.
On my Skylark I went with the dual pass radiator which puts both radiator hoses on the passenger side. That makes it easy to run the cold air intake over to the drivers side. Maybe you can do something with the upper radiator hose to make that possible.

"What difference does it make which side the air filter goes on?"
It doesn't unless you want cold air. The colder the air the more power you can make. It appears his battery is on the passenger side so that blocks off that area. The next best spot is in front of the drivers side fender if he could get his air filter into that area. Check out post #71 in the following link to see what I am doing. With the 2010+ Camaro's they are picking up 15rwhp with a good aftermarket cold air intake system.

We relocated the battery, so really no difference on our build...
