Default Idler pulley, alternator bracket

I got a ptk ebay kit with a speed inc. alternator relocation bracket. I see the people are using the stock alternator bracket with the idler still in place. I want to know does someone make a single pole stand for the idler so I don't have to cut the alternator bracket. Something similar to the first two pics but a single or double stand with the smooth idler attached?

No the tensioer won't fit there with the ptk kit.
Only thing that will work is the stock alt bracket with the alt removed

Can a single pole bracket with a idler pulley attached be made so the alternator bracket can be completely removed? instead of keeping the alternator bracket

probably could, as long as you get the height of the pulley right and out of the way of the piping and turbo, shouldnt be a problem.
FWIW i think the stock alternator brackets are pretty cheap to purchase new, like $30 or so.

Don't mean to steal the thread, are the PTK kits still avalible? What do they run? Is this the same Ebay kit every one has been talking about?

I have a brand new alternator bracket, but I think its ugly and out of place with the alternator missing. Yes this is a ebay kit aka ptk clone kit

How is the fitment so far? I have been toying with the idea of moving my GT-88 up front ans using this kit. I have already put a .96 t-4 flanged housing on it. Are you having to stand the radiator up? Aftermarket fans? What about the ABS box?

I have the motor on as stand and everything bolts right up, no problems yet except for a rare wastegate I have. I don't think a turbo that size will fit up front without major modifications. My radiator has already been modified from my old sts setup but I made a fan shroud from sheetmetal and just put two fans on it on my firebird and most likely will do the same depending on how much room I end up with. I will be doing a fmic also
