How do I mount the Alternator???

Title says it all. I bought a new bracket kit for it but it is some how the wrong one. I am piecing my 82 Z28 back together and I now need to mount the acessories. Are there different upper alternator brackets? All the ones I have seen are too narrow. Please help !!!!

I think I have it. There are two different brackets, one is wide and the other more narrow. I got the narrow one so my alt wont fit between it and the head. I am going to pick up the wider braket today as well as the correct water pump pulley. I should have just bought a serpentine setup!!!!! Thanks for the replies!
