What does this mean? Only an alternator? Like you replace the engine with a clusterfuck of alternators and call it a day?
But seriously, do you mean like a relocation kit for one?

Heres some links on tutorials for fuel lines and wire mod. There are alot more write ups on here but these are the ones I found most helpfull.

As far as removing P/S for a DD I wouldnt. But if you really want to its not that bad you get use to it pretty quick. Thanks for the compliments again everyone.
