alternator relocating
Welcome aboard.
This will do it:

The instructions recommend deleting the ABS module because it brings the alternator extremely close to it, but some have gotten away with doing some clearancing on the modulator and had no problems.

Welcome. Can't remember the name of the company but I'll find it if someone else doesn't post up. The bracket I used from this company allows you to keep your AC and your PS as-is while relocating the alt to the driver side where the smog air pump used to go (assuming you've removed it). It tucks up nice out of the way. I'll find it, but try a search and maybe someone else here has it as well or knows the company's name. They also make a rear seat delete kit and a couple of other oddball items.
ok...edit...soundfury for the win
that's the one I use and it works great.

I have this Zoops bracket which I bought to relocate my power steering pump to a low driver's position:

With that bracket, I had originally intended to have a setup similar to this:
The Zoops power steering bracket has a sliding mechanism on it, so that you can adjust how far in or out the pump sits which makes it pretty easy to align the pullies. You could duplicate this setup pretty easily if you bought a Madman alternator relocation bracket for a low passenger's side mount, like this:

The only downside about the stock power steering pump is that it's vaned to spin counter-clockwise, so using any kind've aftermarket bracket setup pretty much renders it useless. You'll have to get a "TC" style power steering pump that's vaned to spin clockwise. I still have that Zoops power steering bracket. If you're interested, I could cut you a deal on it.
This would be the closest to a "bolt on" setup as you're going to get. Other than that, you're looking at having to custom fab something.

I have a lower mount alternator and made my own Bracket and retained power steering. however I chose not to use the factory pump, I used one from a 95 Buick regal,(new pump) do to it being self contained and hose output location.
