Moving Alternator

I have no AC in my Car, with the 1LE Pulley bolted in. Is there a Kit that you can bolt the Alternator where the AC Compressor was, or will it directly bolt in.

GMRSpeed has an alternator relocation kit for their Twin Turbo setup. Check the forced induction forum. There probably are other kits out there, but I haven't a clue as to who makes them.

I saw them, they are all the kits that re-locate to the drivers side. I have no AC Compressor, so I want to use that space for the Alt.

Yep, Mad Mans kit ditches power steering.

Good luck, hope it looks better than other options, if it does you will have a gold mine.

I think it would be easier to use a SJM kit and then get an LS1 PS pump and mount it on the driver side and run a V-belt off the crank. BUT that is what I would do this summer....

This is the thing, does the LS1 pump pulley spin against the inside or the outside of the Serpentine belt. That is the current thing i am running into with the LT1 Power Steering pump.
