Nice man, bracket looks good, I had to fab one up on my brothers truck except for the hydraboost pump for the brakes/powersteering.

Side note, dont you hate it how no matter how clean you engine compartment looks that whenever you take a picture it always looks dirty? this always happens to me. I wonder how those guys with the super clean looking engine do it?

I bought some cool chrome valve covers and I just made a notch in them with a rubber mallet

Nice, looks good. I made my alternator relocation bracket from an extra accessory bracket I had laying around. It was real easy, but it appears yours was easier. lol. Mine had a factory type look, and the morons that weren't familiar with the LT1's asked if it came from the factory with No Powersteering.

Yea, kinda hard angle to see. I am going to do it that way, take off that bracket and the Smog Pump Bracket, and move some stuff around. I still want Power Steering, that is why I am custom doing it.

The way I see it is if you want it done right you have to do it yourself, because no matter how good an aftermarket company is, there are still pros and cons.
