Just as a quick closure for anyone that runs across this thread:
Autozone carries a generic chrome alternator bracket with two mounting holes in the bottom which facilitate this changeover from the stock header-mounted alt. bracket. It's a little tight across the bottom of the sweep slot, but some quick grinding takes care of it. It's pretty cheap. You'll need a slightly longer belt, by about 3-4 inches, and if it's too long, you'll interfere with the other items in the front of the engine.
They also carry a matching bracket to the official Hooker part that mounts to the header bolts, but it doesn't look as durable as the one I have pictured above.
