Default Alternator relocation

I'm re working a 95 LT1 and received a set of Billet Specialties valve covers as a gift. It looks like the alternator in the stock location is going to interfere with the cover. Is there a good way to relocate just the alt. with out having to redo the whole FEAD? Thanks

I had to get a metal worker to modify my valve covers (different valve covers, but that's the case with any tall sbc covers). So that's another idea for you.

But you could relocate the alt if you delete either PS or A/C

Hadn't thought about that but thank you for answering. I'm a older member here and sometimes I struggle to get answers here. My son passed away and I'm trying to finish building a "first truck" for my grandson. It's a 94 SWB and we are having a good time doing this. Thanks. PS I'm not a a neophyte, my personal car is a 2011 2SS Camaro with a Edlebrock Supercharger, Corsa Exhaust, American Racing LT headers, Hotchkiss full suspension and other stuff... Enjoying retirement.. Wish I could post pics but I'm computer challenged.

If you give up ac and are running a f-body accessory bracket (might work for b-body too) then check this out: http://diysrc.com/lt1-engine-alternator-relocation/
