Default LS1 A/C & ALT Relocation brackets

HI All
First time poster so please be kind, is this in the correct forum

My problem is, i need to move the A/C compressor from the lower R/H side to the lower L/H side of the motor. The LS1 is been fitted into a MJ Comanche that has been converted to R/H drive. ( the a/c wont clear the steering box in its current position ) The alternator is currently mounted top L/H side and would like to mount it top R/H side. My problem is finding the appropite relocation brackets etc. can anyone help point me in the right direction.
Thanks for any help in advance

As you've probably noticed, there's a boss cast into the block that the AC compressor bolts to. It's not there on the drivers side. Kwik and Holley make brackets to mount a Sanden compressor high on the passenger side. Would that work? They also make a bracket moving the alternator high on the drivers side, similar to the corvette accessory drive.

Thanks for the replys, the lsbrackets, Kwik dont have any thing that suit my needs. I ned to get the AC compressor on the lower L/H side it's the only place for it to go to keep things tidy in the engine bay ( the ac lines run to the L/H side of the fire wall, upper L/H side needs to be keep clear for air intake, hence why the alternator needs to be moved to the upper R/H side ) I have found a bracket to mount the ac Marks 4WD adaptors which looks great. I think it uses original belt aligment, waiting on more details. But i think there alternator relocation bracket for the upper R/H side is going to sit to high.
So Zach dose you awsome alternator relocation bracket that sits the Alt nice and low and neat compatible with original accessories water pump, power steer etc

I,v posted a link to the A/C relocation bracket thats in the right place.
The trick is now to get your Alt bracket on to my motor ? I think my LS1 runs the "short" belt spacing.
