Question Aster bracket vs newer procharger bracket Width

First off 2002 WS6 Trans AM. Curious if anyone can give me any idea if the newer Procharger bracket is a bit wider than the Aster Bracket so I can make arrangements to see what I need to do to gain more space. With the Aster bracket, with the D1 to D1X upgrade (PROCHARGER DOES NOT TELL YOU THAT IT IS .8" WIDER!) , with the air hat on, it is less than 1/8" from the bottom support of the radiator. Thanks!

I responded to your message as well but will add it here for benefit of others. It was actually the opposite. The bracket is thicker in spots but actually moved the blower closer to the motor. I found this out because the blower pully actually hit the alternator at first, and I had to remove a couple of the pulley spacers.

Here are some photos



Here is the spacer issue and a few other random photos
