Default front mount turbo question

Is there a way that I can completely remove the alternator bracket?

No it is not needed. Atleast I didn't use my original bracket when I relocated my alternator.

I used the bracket with the idler pulley on it. IIRC it's the alternator bracket, it's been a while though.
