Here are some pictures, you can see where I cut it.

Here is the part number of the alt bracket I ordered


Here you can see the stock bracket, take a good look at the lower section



Here is the bracket after I cut it with a cutoff wheel,hacksaw, & grinding wheel


the mod to the bracket only took 20mins, but I did have the engine mocked and was able to mount and un-mount the bracket during the cutting. All in all I would do it again, it was easy & I still get to keep my alt/power steering on the driver side.

hope this helps.. if not, feel free to ask some more...

Thank You kind Sir!

Has anyone used the CPP power steering pump bracket part no. PS-30-S for their small block? Looks like a good one for a decent price.

I just bought the Summit serpentine kit = http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-340500/ It was a bit pricey, but very pleased with it!
