Alternator won't stay tight..

Ok, here's the scenario.. 87 gta, ac delete, smog pump delete.. just put a superram intake manifold base on it, and now when i put everything back on, the alternator wont stay tight..it keeps loosening itself up and squealing.. the only bracket it has is the long bolt on the bottom.. how do i keep this **** from loosening itself? i dont think it's drivable like this.. it's hella annoying having a belt squeal, and I fear it may not charge the batt properly.. if anyone has any pics of the alternator brackets so i can start playing with the bin of spare parts... thanks
i need to have this fixed by morning
Ben

ok, nevermind. I am a f*cking moron. the bracket was sitting right next to me the whole time... finding bolts that fit were another story.. but anyways. this is why you shouldn't mix cars & alcohol
