Default LQ9 Swap with Power steering delete??

I have swapped in my 6.0, and drilled the hole for the Alt bracket, my question is, without powersteering how do you need to route the belt, and what size?? Ive read alot about 51.5 belts on an LS1 without Powersteering, but I want to be sure, alot of people mention removing one of the Alt bracket bolts to make that work, and I believe they are refering to the one I had to drill/tap to make the bracket work with the iron block!!!

Someone clear this up..

Thanks.

I personally have not driven the car with this setup yet but if you are worried about the belt slipping off, scroll down a little bit and you will see another setup with an additional tensioner. Seems like either will work! Goodluck!
