Default alternator relocation --- haven't seen this done yet...

I tried google search and didn't see anything come up. Sorry if this had been ask multiple times. I know there are plenty of relocation kit, but it's either high mount on passenger/driver side...i'm looking to move it where the stock compressor would sit...is there any relocation kit in the market that does that??? or has anyone tried mounting it there and how did they get it accomplished?

factory honda compressor I wanna say is denso... not sure...can get back with u when I get home...but it's already a 6 rib pulley...so it's just a matter of aligning it and building a bracket...was trying to see if theres already a bracket to move alternator to other side...

Denso also supplied compressors to GM if that helps with anything...

my goal is to reuse the lines so I dont have to re-engineer the ac system...right now the stock s2000 sits on the lower driver side...

even if I use the GM compressor, I'd have to swap the location of the alternator and compressor....rather build 1 bracket vs 2....trying get the lazy way out....
