Default Delete PS, Relocate Alt, and Keep the AC?

The AC works so well I hate to remove it...could I delete the PS, relocate the alt and keep the AC somehow?

Ive read around it appears the madman alt relocation deletes both the AC and PS. Is there another way to keep the AC?

I'm sure we can design something that can work for you. This would take time obviously and we would prefer to have more interest then 1 kit.

email your info and we'll see if we can help

Okay so it doesnt sound like this would be possible unless a custom bracket or kit is made for this purpose.

Yes, cause you'll need to do something with the compresser since its in the way.

you would just have to put the alt where the ps pump is and put an idler up top, but then again i don't think there is room for the alt where the ps pump is...

I'd look into cutting the aluminum accessories bracket enough to keep structural integrity and yet make enough room for you to mount the alternator under it. Then I'd just look at some old school alternator brackets.
