4.8 swap/turbo alternator bracket setup

Im currently in the process of finishing my 4.8L swap up
A little info:
91 Supra
2001 4.8L/4L60E
GT45 turbo
Truck manifolds flipped(vbands)
LS1 intake

The problem im having is how/where to mount the alternator(01 silverado alternator)
Im not running powersteering at this time and running electric cooling fans
With room being the major issue.
How does everybody go about mounting their alternator with the truck manifolds flipped forward
I need the alternator to be no higher then the throttle body(1/2" of clearance between TB and hood)

Thanks for any help

A few pics

How it sits as of right now

Passenger manifold clearance

Driver manifold clearance

I saw that bracket kit.
Appears to be about 2" higher then the Throttle body would be
I have 1/2" of clearance between throttle body and the hood

Thanks anyway
