Our '87 Camaro has a '92 Camaro motor. The PO did the work.

IDK if there is a difference in Pontiac & Chevy bracket mount holes on the heads..??..

Alternator can be anywhere, as long as the pulley rotates in the propper direction.

It's only the bracketry that makes the alternator sit on the other side. If he's not giving you any of that anyway, it doesn't matter.
