Default LS Alternator & AC Brackets

I am looking for a source that makes brackets to relocate my AC & Alternator brackets. I need brackets to locate them to the top. I am putting in a 98 F-Body LS1 in a 82 Corvette. Any help would be appreciated.

Do you have any pics? My 04 has the alternator up top on the drivers side. I'm not sure that I could re-clock my alternator with the vent fan to work there. I have a 98 F-Body motor. I think the C5 pulleys have a different offset closer to the engine

Thanks

i just read somewhere that the vette accessories are something like .4 inch closer. But as long as you get all vette stuff it will work just fine...

Look at Vintage Air's Front Runner for LS1. It is very compact and works and looks good.

Vintage Air's Front Runner is a bit to pricey for me at this time. I might try the GM F-Body brackets 1st to see what will fit. I found products made by Kwik Performance. Has anyone used their products?

The KWiK A/C brackets were exactly what I was looking for and reasonable. I am happy with them.
