Vintage Air Question

My alternator is located on the passenger side. Most of the trucks you see have the AC compressors located on that side with the alternator located on the driver side. I know that they do this to make the engine compartment look better with the hoses going straight through the firewall to the compressor rather than having to run longer hoses all the way across (front or back) to the compressor if it is located on the driver side. My question is how much trouble is it to swap the locations of the alternator and compressor. I assume (a poor choice of word but the only one I could think of at the moment) that the only thing you have to do is change brackets. Who makes a bracket kit to do this or do I just have to order individual brackets? I looked through the Jegs catalog but could not find anything (unless I missed it which is possible). I will buy a Vintage Air system the first of the year but want to make the necessary changes before I do. Thanks for any and all help. The good thing about this forum is that when you submit a question you get answers from many who have done this as well as others who are doing it.
