Default Alternator Relocation

Has anyone used the madman bracket to relocate their alternator? I was wondering if anyone had pictures of this with it on the engine? How are the belts run? Thanks

I got one, trying to find a pic. there is only one belt to run, it runs from the crank to the alt.

You remove or can reposition the power steering pump. and you lose the A/C.

Why is it that you have you have to relocate the alt to get aftermarket Valve covers. Is it due to the way it sits back over them?

This kit keeps A/C but doesnt look as nice. And you can get aftermarket valve covers to work with the alternator just where it is. Just have to make sure that one of them is notched. I saw a couple on Ebay the other night.

I'm pulling AC this weekend and would love to have that setup. What bracket did you use to mount the Alt. down there? And what size belt? Thanks
