ok, the power steering/alt relocation bracket list thread!
ok, the power steering/alt relocation bracket list thread! ok, for all the budget builders and do-it-yourselfers that cant afford one of those beatiful kit that our sponsors like speed inc. has made for us, after all of the research and reading ive done ive put together a list of parts that is budget friendly and realatively easy to do. so here goes, your input and suggestions are welcome.
for the alternator bracket ive found that the madman bracket is best suited if you want to keep the stock alternator. although it isnt hte only one out there for us, there is the "allen groove" bracket, and the Street and performance kit, this one isnt cheap but its the simplest way to go about it, and you can buy one used form members on here or other LTX forums.
no pulley needed since the alternator will be ran off of the balancer.

and for the power steering (the complicated one) heres what ive concluded.
get a gm type 2 power steering pump off a late model S10, or blazer, that is clockwise rotation (standard), for use on the driver side. (you can also use a factory LSX pump from what ive read) this is only if you want the reservoir mounted on top of the pump, you can also just get a pump and use a remote reservoir if you please
s10 pump
and since it is a "type 2" pump, realativley any type 2 pump bracket should work. like these:
"zoops"
http://www.zoops.com/product-listing.asp?ID=7&offset=24
or this one from "canton racing products"
http://www.cantonracingproducts.com/...ion&key=75-284
then a power steering and single groove crank pully of your choice:
i just use zoops as a reference, you can use cheap pullys from summit or jegs, or use billet specialties or march performance or whatever.
http://www.zoops.com/product-listing.asp?ID=4
measure for a belt and i beleive your good to go!
any questions or comments or other suggestions are welcomed..enjoy.

im not going to be running power stearing with my setup and am just going to loop my system..but the only thing on my motor will be the alt seeing im going to run a eletric pump..
but this is the setup i always use to mount the alt on the drivers side down low..im pretty sure it will work on a lt1 also..
jegs lower mount alt bracket #555-50542 $29.99
jegs moroso crankshaft pulley#710-64050 $31.99

alternator on pass side down low with madman bracket ran off the balancer, and power steering on driver side mouned using one of the above brackets, ran off of a single groove pully mounted on the balancer, measure for belt, run PS lines and done.
no this is the list im going to go by when i do this in the next month or so! ive researched for awhile now and this is the cheapest wya ive found to do it.

This is a good write up. I was trying to figure how the heck to relocate the ps for a while now...and I had seen on a episode of extreme 4x4 where the host took a power steering pump and mounted it backwards on the block with a bracket. I was considering doing that until this good bit of info!

i was thing first gen motors...sorry i never took a good hard look at a lt1..it dont even look like the water pumps are spun by a pulley from the crappy pics i jus looked at as a refrence..trick would be finding a belt that short for using a low alt mount like i posted..maybe a harleys primerie belt would work..

why not leave the pump where it is and drop the alternator down where the compressor went? there is an idler pulley up top left and you don't have to worry about setting tension. much easier imo, cheap too
