I'm looking for a factory non a/c bracket. I can't seem to find one so I guess I have to figure out how to make one. Is there anyway that I can do it without one. I have to replace everything on the a/c system so I decided on deleting it.

Which bracket. Power steering, smog pump, alternator?

The year model of the vehicle and/or front drive accessories matters too since there were some changes over the years to the PS and A/C brackets.

That is what I expected based upon your screen name, but wasn't 100% sure. The easiest solution is to swap in the 85 and up PS bracket and use the kit FoxChassis linked to above. I am sure someone out there has the NON A/C bracket and parts you need, but it may take a bit of searching. You can always post a WTB in the classified section here and see if a fellow member can help you out. Good Luck!

I think you are trying to run the same bracket setup I have. No AC, no Smog pump.
Here are a few pictures for reference.
i have an 84 1/2 gt350. the little mounting nub where the smog delete pulley mounts to the alternator bracket cracked off. can this kit help me totally eliminate smog and the ac bracket pulleys (i removed ac and replaced with a pulley only) without having to find a replacement alternator bracket. so in the end i would only have alternator, waterpump crank and power steering pulley. any help is appreciated. thanks in advance.
What is the length of your belt? And do you have anything that shows the exact routing?
My 83 did not have factory air, so it has the high mounted PS pump bracket already. I am also going to delete the smog pump and plan on using under drive pulleys so I'm trying to determine if the routing you are using will be what I need.
I run this routing, not sure about the belt length, I will get it for you.
I also run underdrive water pump and crank pulleys, had idle charging issues so put a smaller overdrive pulley on the alternator.
looking at pics and diagrams i ordered everything up. will be using same diagram as above. thanks for sharing pics and info.
Belt I use is a Dayco 5060690, good luck
Hey just wanted to say thanks Trey I took your advice and I found a power steering pump bracket for free

Glad I could help with the PS bracket idea.
Probably more than you want or need, but this is an option.

If you need the A/C delete kit, I believe it will have the hardware you need. https://lmr.com/item/LRS-8511A/musta...ator-kit-85-93
Otherwise, the thread sizes in the factory heads are generally either 7/16-14 or 3/8-16. The large long bolt the PS bracket slides onto is 7/16" doubled ended stud, but I don't recall the length. It can be done with a long bolt through the bracket if needed, but does make assembly more difficult.
What setup are you trying to install at this point, will help narrow down what hardware and sizes you need to make it work?
