Default Relocating alternator

I ended up buying this bracket- https://ls1tech.com/forums/parts-cla...nator-kit.html

Is there anyway to install it without removing the power steering?
The a/c is already deleted.
Thanks

Well in order to install the new bracket you have to remove the accessory bracket that bolts everything on to it. Correct? From looking at this pic that's the way I see it anyway.

Yeah lol
I didn't know if anyone moved it or did something different. Looks like I'll be getting a manual rack. I'm really doing it for a clean look under the hood. Not really doing it to benefit from loss of weight but that doesn't hurt I suppose.

I would run skinny up front and loop the hose on your rack. That's what I had planned on doing. I did loop the rack but the 17x9.5 rims and 275 tires we're a pita to turn. Put some pro star 15x3.5 up front it was like night and day. Plus it gave the car a very mean look.

Yeah i plan on some skinnys this spring. Actually trying to work a deal out with my buddy for these


If I found a manual rack how bad would the steering be with 265's and 16" rims?

With a manual rack to bad with the stock rack it takes a little bit to get use to it. But once your rolling it's not bad at all
