Driver Side Alt Brackets

I am currently using a non-AC passenger side alternator mount. I am considering adding Vintage Air A/C into the car so I'll need to move the alternator to the driver side.

Is this all I need to make the swap? eBay brackets

Is there anything different about the power steering bracket depending on driver or pass alternator mount location?

Thanks.

There are a couple of different alternator bracket setups, the later 260 and 307 use the aluminum top bracket. The early and later power steering reservoir are different. The later setup is tighter to the motor vs the early setup. It is good to have the dual pulley power steering, more belt routing choices. What length water pump and what pullies are you using?

Engine is out for a rebuild, I think I'm using a short pump with factory "underdrive" pulleys. I know I'll need to find 3 groove pulleys and a new water pump as well.

Looks like this is another option. This is the style that is usually missing the rear bracket because nobody puts it back on after needing to remove a valve cover....

Thanks, but I'm all set on the bracket via a different member here.
