Where did you move the Altenator to, or did you take it completely out.

No I had that model but it cracked under light stress. This is the one from Speed Specialty that mounts on the bottom driverside of the engine bay. I'm selling actually w/ the belt for $115+shipping if you or anyone is interested. I have to put the alt back up top since something else is taking it's place down there.

No pics. It was the 1st version of Speed Specialty relocation bracket. Basically it was a modified stk bracket w/ a cut out to fit the alt. That bracket is of composite material and under serious load it cracks. There is one guy who has one but I don't know if it's from SS and he's had it one for over a yr but if I'm not mistaken he reinforced it some way.

Thanks. I am looking into moving the Alternator to where the AC Compressor was. I will get it to custom fit, it looks close enough to try it, and all the wires are right there. Then I will get a Pulley above the power steering pump, so the belt will still spin it. I just want to clean up that section of the engine, the Alternator there looks like it's out of place.

How was the installation on this? And I'm guessing there was some wiring that was involved, but how extensive do you think it was? I've been looking at ways to clean up the bay so this would be great

I haven't tried my idea yet, kinda hard from where I am in IRAQ... lol
For the kits, I see it being a pain, expecially without power steering. Both of the wires have to go to the otherside. I assume the battery one is easier to run behind the winshield washer fluid resivoir. I don't know where the other one goes. The power steering system comes out. That is why I am custom making a setup, so I don't have to move all that stuff.
