Alternator relocation to Driver's side??

Has anyone fabbed up a LH alternator mount keeping the stock bracket on the RH for the AC/PS? Or an Alternator only set-up on the driver's side?

The only one I have ever seen that puts it on the driver's side of a LT1 is a whole kit with the brackets and idlers to mount your AC & PS on the RH. I don't need that side of a kit.

Thanks for the info, but I'm looking for something to mount it lower on the driver's side...kinda opposite the A/C compressor. It would be a custom set-up.

I have seen that kit and it is extremely nice. What I want to do is similar, but different.
I want to modify my current bracket sort of like people doing the home-made alt relocation do when they cut alot of the top off and add an idler pulley up top. However, instead of removing A/C and putting my alternator in that location....I want to leave my PS, tensioner, and A/C in their original spots and running off of the piggy-back March underdrive pulley. Then I want to mount my alternator on the lower driver's side and run it off of the original balancer on a seperate short belt. This way, I'd keep all my accesories and have a cleaner looking top side.
I just figured someone had already done this and was hoping to see some pics for different ideas.
