i had to switch to a early model bracket / tensioner setup to use my older alternator. I also picked the camaro set up. Only issue I have not fixed yet is the heater hose couplers. I will be making a "L" shaped bracket to hold them in place.

That's what I did. Wasn't that hard:


I also mentioned the 99 Camaro bracket in the OP, and I showed what the other bracket breaks if used.

Wait, the 99 camaro bracket has the non removable elbo?
