Adjustable Alternator Bracket?
So my AIR Pump locked up today..... Was hoping to get another week or 2 out of the car before getting it ready for extended winter downtime, but looks like the car had other plans....
Anyway, I do live in an area where we test emissions. I Think my car is exempt at this point, but I have to check on that. Pretty sure I can get the car to pass even without the AIR pump anyway, so I'll probably just scrap it.
Pulling the A/C as well. As I mentioned in a previous thread, this leaves my tensioner pulley all by its lonesome on the passenger side. I'm thinking converting the Alternator to an adjustable one is going to be the least expensive option for me... I started looking for an adjustable bracket. wow.. Summit has over 100 adjustable alternator bracket...
Does anyone know what bracket will work? It looks like the Power steering mount is part of the same bracket from the pictures I've seen. Is it? Or maybe they just overlap?
Perhaps I can just disconnect the upper bolt and use some sort of threaded adjustable bolt? Somethign like this.. But probably a lot shorter though.

If I could put my alternator on the passenger side, I could retain the factory tensioner maybe.... Hmmmm...
