High mount DRIVER side Alt relocation?? Hey guys i have been on this site for a long time...havent posted too much but I am soon to be pulling the trigger on a alt relocation. If I am going to mount one I was thinking as low as I can go since i prefer not to mount it high passenger side. I think it looks the worse upside passenger side(personal opinion). I know of the kit that mounts a alt down where the ac compressor was but I found this one...tell me what you guys think? It says fbody but not sure what Gen. I have a 4th gen truck mani build.
If it will work and fit I think it will look pretty good!
If I had to mount high pass side I will likely go modular turbo bracket as my friend has one and it is extremely nice piece but again that would be my last option.

its saying that from the top of the TB to the top of the PS reservoir cap is 1-3/4 in. Does anybody know if that will clear a stock ss 4th gen hood by chance??
This was an answer from them after being asked if it would fit a 4th gen:
"The high mount kit is normally designed for street rods, etc. In a 4th gen Camaro or Firebird, the high location of the power steering is more than likely to cause a hood clearance problem. We haven’t tried this because when putting an LS into an F body, most folks are going to use the stock LS-1 F body front drive system."
