I just picked up the barckets to convert my V-belts to Serpentine for a near future(hopefully) P1SC install. I got the brackets for free but was told where the alt. goes a mounting ear or something is broken off. It's the top most hole that's gone as he told me, I have two lower holes left. I was told I won't even need that brakcet with the supercharger so that shouldn't matter. Is this true? If so then the power steering pump also gets removed from the factory bracket and gets bolted to the ATI one right?

I want to get everything I need so when I buy the s/c I can bolt it on with as little surprises as possible. Thanks.

Common problem. I replaced by broken bracket with a new one for ~$40.

Only true with Vortech's kit. ATI's kit retains all factory bracketing.

When converting from the v-belt system, you'll need the following:

1) Alternator
2) Power Steering Pump (ATI supplies a new pressure line)
3) Water Pump
4) AC Compressor
5) AC Compressor Electrical Connector
6) Fuel/Return line - From the fuel rail fitting to the rubber lines.
7) Serpentine Belt
8) Braces for both factory brackets -- Two for the passenger's, one for the driver's.
9) Pullies - Water pump, PS pump, air pump and an idler.
10) Associated nuts and bolts.

The air pump can be retained.
