not a chance the bracket gets in the way pushing the alternator out

besides without the tensioner you need something to set the belt tension

only way is the champion ac delete setup that has PS and Alternator mounting

   that sucks, i was hoping
Have you looked at actually doing this?

i am also considering elongating the top mount of the alt bracket and welding the tensioner stationary.
