Default Which brackets in a 64 Chevelle?

I am trying to decide what brackets to put on my 64 Chevelle. I bought a Camaro long block and put it together. From looking at the Camaro bracket and pulley setup, it looks like the alternator is going to be right in the steering box. I like the look of the Corvette, putting the P/S pump right above the steering box, and the alternator on top. I don't need the A/C, so thats not an issue yet. What are you guys running in an early Chevelle?

Zz,
I'm in the middle of the process as well. I'm putting a '99 LS-1 and 6 speed in my '65 Chevelle. I'm at a halt as I have a friend welding up motor mounts I fab'd and the notched oil pan. So far it seems like the choices are: 1) going to the Corvette drive accessories, 2) going to S & P or March for a complete bracket system or 3) there are several companies and individuals fabricating their own brackets to relocate the alternator up high while maintaining the other Camaro drive accessories. I'd suggest searching this particular forum over the last couple months. There's been a decent amount of chatter. I plan to chime in again once I have the bits to make an informed decision....

I am using the vette brackets in my '65 elcamino. The only thing is the factory air wont fit. If you go with a vintage air system that will probably work better. The fittings on the back of the compressor will not clear the motor mounts.
