Default LT1 Alternator Relocation

Hey Guys,

I am looking for an alternator relocation kit that will work with stock power steering and air conditioning. I just want to move it to the lower driver side (where AIR used to be) for better looks and so I can swap valve covers. I have seen a website or two that says they offer it, but no pictures or posts from guys who have it. Any ideas of what I can buy and how much? Want to make sure I am getting something I can trust.

Well . . . the lack of responses is making me think that these kits are not readily available.

I did read the post below and reached out to Speed Inc but they have discontinued that kit.

I will keep looking around.

I did find this one that would seem to be what I am looking for, but the price is a little steep.

I guess it doesnt have to be on the drivers side, I just thought it made sense to put it there because I have so much space. This is an option as well.

Does anyone have experience with either of these setups?

Thanks for the input. Do you think there is any advantage with the raptor kit to make it worth the extra money?
