Default 2nd gen ls swap alt clearance.

I am finally back on my project after having the motor and trans set in for several months. I am now having an issue with clearance for the alternator. I have spent most the morning using search feature and have not seen anything related I was hoping someone on the forum has had a similar issue. I am using moroso solid mounts and trans dapt 1" setback plates in a 1979 trans am putting it in the 350 mounting location. I have speedway motors high mount alt & ps bracket and f body accessories. My issue is the alternator does not have clearance to mount due to space between the mount and upper A-arm. does anyone have any suggestions as to what can be done the motor needs to sit about 3-4 inches higher but if I use spacers I know the driveline angle would be way out.

They holley bracket setup is the best option allows the use of any water pump and a truck alternator. Gets everything up and out of the way.
