Thinking about Relocating the alternator to the AC compressor spot Using the OE stuff and eliminating the tensioner.
Some one has to have done this during the early days.

Most talk about having thick skin but thats just BS.
This damn attitude of "you didn't listen to us/me now you should burn in hell for it" really sucks.

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.
