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?

What supercharger is the bracket made for? Procharger? Vortech? Powerdyne?

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)

Thing's look so much easier with that bracket, I wish I had the original brackets for this.
