Default Alternator Bracket Help !! Plz

I need to get this setup on a 5.3 im boosting. Ive been looking all over for info on this setup but i dont see anything except pictures, no write ups. It looks like the stock low mount passenger side bracket on the ls1 out of camaro/firebirds that is just moved to the top of the motor? Plz help thanks!!

Do you know if the bolt holes in the front of the cylinder heads on ls1's are the same as 5.3 truck heads? Also does the f body alternator bracket use a rear brace, i dont see how one bolt can hold the alternator very steady.

It is actually only one bolt. Youd be surprised. Im not sure if bolt holes are the same though. It is an easy check though.

Ok thanks guys. That speedinc brackets looks real good, although i was trying to avoid spending $200. I can get the f body alternator bracket through gm for $14 but may have to go that route.
