Alternator relocation with supercharger
Planning on finally getting my supercharger put on this winter/spring on my 91. The bracket I have is custom made and bolts into the driver's side head, so my alternator on my serpentine setup has to move. I was thinking of mounting it down where the smog pump used to be, spacing it in or out as needed. Anyone else run into this issue or has a custom belt setup where the alternator is on the passenger side I could take a look at?

This is the relocation bracket Procharger sells with their transplant kits.

Its not cheap and get even dearer as you need to run a C6 corvette alternator.
What are you doing with your power steering pump, or have you gone to manual steering?

Re: Alternator relocation with supercharger
All you have to do is slot the bracket for the smog pump and a/c compressor at the top bolt for the alternator to fit. We just did this about 2 months ago on a chevelle with the TPI engine and old school Carroll Supercharger. It has been working fine since. We did also make a brace from the rear of the alternator to the front header bolt just for insurance.

It's a Paxton blower, sn93, nothing too extreme
This is something I was looking into, I'd split the alternator/ps bracket, and bolt the supercharger in and fit the alternator where the smog pump was. Wouldn't happen to have a pic of that setup, it would be great help

See attached photo of PS pump relocation and position of alternator on Paxton bracket (below PS pump on driver side)

[quote=toronto formula;5691574]Thing's look so much easier with that bracket, I wish I had the original brackets for this.
