Looking for alternative alternator for Holley LS Bracket kit. Greetings everyone,
I'm working on a LQ4 that I'm looking forward into putting into my 94 Buick Roadmaster Wagon. What I've been trying to come up with is the best fitment for the accessory drives (A/C, P/S, Alt.) I've looked into Holley's LS Accessory drive kits and they look very promising and look to fit quite well, however the price tag seems a bit high to me for the entire kit.
They do sell the bracket kit solely with no a/c compressor or p/s pump, the R4 a/c compressor pretty common on most GM cars so that isn't too hard to get, nether is the P/S pump as that is off a corvette and isn't hard to get either.
However the Alternator, that one I'm not sure what year/model/engine they are using for that kit. Would anyone happen to know that information?

From the Holley instructions for the bracket:
The Holley drivers side bracket uses standard alternators with 5.46 bolt spacing. This alternator
type is common on most 96-05 GM trucks and 98-06 Camaro/Firebird/GTOs. There are two
alternator amperages available in this type. Note: The Holley bracket DOES NOT work with 97-UP
Corvette or 10-UP Camaro alternators which have 6 (154 mm) center bolt spacing.

The LQ4 is a truck motor. Are you going to use the truck offset for your accessory drive? I have a set of Holley/GM brackets for sale in the classifieds. They are standard Corvette offset or truck offset when used with the spacer kit.
