Vertical Radiator and Alternator Relocate Teaser Pics(Finished Radiator) I have been collecting parts for a while, and I plan to do this over the winter break. I went with the Griffin 552541-x with a 3" core, and the fan is a 14" 2800 cfm puller, so hopefully with the shroud it will move enough air.
I plan to mount the radiator so it is hidden much like this one

Ive done the same alternator relocation as you are going to use. Make sure everything is lined up perfectly i had a friend build me one and i kept chewing up belts. I had to modify it a bit to get everything setup perfectly. Three belts later and a change in pulley sizes cured it. Looks 100x better then stock and free's up some room up top when wrenching. Can finally run tall valve covers now without having to worry about alternator being in the way!

Much cleaner, seeing this pic makes me want to get out there and do work right now haha.
I made it out of 3/4" aluminum angle and a piece of .063 aluminum.

Yeah you have to add a peice of sheetmetal and either bolt it or weld it to the existing bracket. I dont have any pics of the bracket off the car but the write up on how to make it shows a good idea of what you need to do. You need to make sure you use enough shims no less or too many can cause issues. My buddy had issues with his on the bracket he made and had to shim it. Use a small pulley as the idler on top do not use a bigger one that you see sometimes on the AC delete pulleys which is what I originally used and then stepped down to a small pulley which made a world of difference in lining up and space under the hood. The belt you need to use is one off a Honda S2000.
