I realize this is a different engine but sometimes you have to get creative. I made a new alternator bracket to drop it down slightly and move it forward. My water pump pulley started it's life as a reverse rotation ford pulley. I put the 8 groves in it and made a spacer and countersunk the bolts to clear the blower belt. I am using electric A/C with remote condenser and electric P/S to simplify things and keep the engine compartment clean. I guess my point is just solve one thing at a time and don't lock yourself in a box just because that's what everyone else does. I'm just a normal guy and I figured it out. It was quite overwhelming when I started. I just poked away at it and then it was done. Thank you for your time.
