hey man where the heck is your alternator????
I was looking at the pics and it looks like you used a dummy pulley where the alt was right???? I guess you kept your power steering so you still needed to use the bracket???? But where's the alternator? Low mount madman setup???

It's a SpeedSpecialty alt relocation brkt which relocates it where the old air/smog pumps we all remove were located (drivers side), this brkt allows you to keep your PS & AC. I have a new compressor and all my lines polished, the AC delete pulley was free & just wanted to make a pass @the track without it for the hell of it.

cool.... i ditched the power steering (madman manual rack), and i'm going to run the madman low mount alt kit so I can ditch the giant bracket on the pass side.... I Might have to figure out how in the belt routing i can run a vacuum pump tho..... So I'll only have a belt going to the alt, vacuum pump, and the balancer....

I recommend you stay away from the electric pumps
I'm getting ready to buy parts soon for this and need to see what it'll require...
And yes definitely stay away from electric vacuum pumps...

recommendation taken, so what do you recommend then if not electric, the crank vacuum options are new to me, think I understand the basic principle of it now but not clear on all the best options for obtaining vacuum for this.

Tony would be the man about the vacuum pump. I think i'm going to run an Aerospace components 3 vane but i'm letting my engine builder deal with that issue...
