Here is what I did to my car. removed a/c and smog. Movec Alt. to the a/c location. Mounted idler arm/pulley upside down so it pulls up on the belt. works great.

Though it is not as nice/clean as the other cars posted, i like the balance the alternator gives the vortech

it is. I got the spacers from Loews. they are 1" long 2 on each bolt. Also got the longer bolts from Loews. the a/c bracket is also spaced out 3/4" you can see the shinny nuts that i used. Its also a 3g alt. from a 94/95 mustang. i had to open the radius of the a/c bracket so the alt. would sit flush and drilled a new lower hole. The belt is 54" long.
Looks like if you use the 4cly. idler arm you would not need to do my crazy flip of the 5.0 idler arm. But the spacers and bolts are only a couple of bucks.lol you can also see where I clearanced the a/c bracket to clear the idler pulley.
