vacuum pump mounting..who's done it?

looking at mounting a vac pump.. at this point looks like bolting it to a front eng plate lower driver side..(under power steering pump) if I don't go Rack/pinon. Just to add vac pump..
alt is on pass side..power steering on driver side...moroso makes a braket that bolts to a eng plate.. thinking of going with it...as long as I can get it to fit under the power steering pump.
then use there parts to mount to crank..

I think I can get it in there

anybody do anything like this..? the lower 3 bolt holes on the driver side eng are open at this time..

Re: vacuum pump mounting..who's done it?

I use a crank mandrel and run 3 different belts. One for the vacuum pump, one for the fuel pump and one for the alternator. Alternator is flipped around backwards because it was the only way I could make it fit.





Not sure if they have a low mount installation kit. Depending on the position, the steering box may be in the way.
