I was able to remake the existing bracket and put the alternator where the A/C compressor was . Also reworked a power steering pulley from a Quad4 to fit the alternator . Worked well and still used the LT1 belt tensioner .

Your better off making your own if you want it to fit right, paid over $100 for one and the pitman arm hit the alternator. Was able to modify it and make it work.

Jim:
I bought one from East Coast, but as it came would not clear the opti spark and sat too far back and would not line up with the pulley on the harmonic balancer. I ended up fabricating spacers using 1”+ diameter aluminum. I can take some photos and pass them along if you like?
