I don't have power steering or AC. Am I right to assume that it hangs to the driver side? Othere than the slotted double adjuster bracket, there is an offset, bent bracket with two holes at the offset end and one hole at the other end. Where do I position this?
Thanks a bundle,

It's hard to tell, but does your alt mount bracket have a 90 degree bend in it? All three of the holes in my bracket face the same way. Will it still mount on the driver's exhaust manifold?

The bracket on mine bolted to the water pump housing, but that bracket was not the original, so it looked a little funny, but functioned just fine.

I can't see what you have to suggest what might be missing or which direction anythig fits
need something to mount one ear of the alt to the manifold, and if you hang the alt up by the top adjusting [slotted] bracket, you should be able to hold bits and pieces between the bottom of it and the manifold and see what's what
