Could you get AC with no PS?

Was this ever an option for 1965?
I'm searching for a bracket set up that places the alternator on the left side(drivers), that doesn't require the use of a PS bracket.
On the AC cars that I have the Alternator and power steering bracket are piggy back and kind of integral with each other.

Ultimate goal is to mount my Vintage Air compressor on the right side and my alt on the left...by using 65 parts.

That information is probably in the assembly manual. I do not have my maual with me at the moment.

Thanks Joe...I should have looked there.
Now that I have I see that I don't have your second page...weird.

But here's my question...
Page one shows both the AC compressor AND the Alternator on the right side of the engine.
Page 2 shows the AC on the right and Alt. slightly to the left mounted up high(the way every AC car has it mounted)
What gives?

What gives is that I screwed up and accidentally posted the V6 belt diagram, not the V8 diagram. Try this one.

Gotcha. Thank you.
So obviously you CAN use the ALT bracket as a stand alone with a washer or 2.

Now I need to find the pulleys.

Anyone know the code for the 3 groove Alternator pulley?
I have a JH code pulley...but I think it's from a 70?

Joe, I scanned my assembly manual but couldn't find a number?

I'm not sure some of these early pulleys had the two letter code.

We'll be in spaces IO 13 - IO 16, right inside Gate 3, from Tues afternoon through Sat evening.
