If you mean a kit to run the alternator without the power steering pump. Some one does make a pulley kit for that. I just put in an idler pulley above the alternator to get better belt wrap on the water pump.

BMR sells an alternator only bracket that mounts the alternator on the bottom of the drivers side engine block. I don't know what people are saying about belt wrap but to me alternator only means you have an electric water pump and only the alternator needs a belt.

I have mine in the stock kocation with the stock bracket... Removed the idler pulley snd got a shorter belt. Do a search on here for short belt mod and you can find the shorter belt # to use
