Hello

Thank you

The best thing to do would be to buy an adjustable alternator bracket.
You going to swap to standard rotation water pump?
Yes I believe I would need a standard rotation
The other ideas are paths less traveled. Stay reverse rotation. swap to a left hand mount alternator and run the tensioner either pump to alternator or alternator to crank. Or make an adjustable alternator bracket.
You can mod the AC bracket to mount an idler to it and keep the reverse rotation water pump and factory tensioner.

I like that set up any more info on it?
Than you
The setup is pretty simple, the bracket on the driver side is the old AC bracket trimmed down with a pulley mounted to it. You dont need to use the aftermarket alt bracket, thats the only pic I could find. The typical setup uses the factory alternator bracket and spring tensioner and just the idler pulley for the driver side to make it all work. I think I have the belt number and the blueprint for where to drill the hole and also the spacer pulley and bolt.
