AC removed on mine and did have an occasional belt squeal. Tighten the power steering belt first since that is often the culprit. Search for a thread by Joe P on the right way to tighten the belts, solved my problem.

You may have to search for a used bracket to move the alternator to the passenger side like on non-AC cars. No repops that I know of.

Depending on "nice".....
The big guys have their kits- Mondello and Dick Miller. March also makes a kit for the Olds. They are high dollar items.
You might be better off finding the appropriate stock items via for sale or parts wanted listings.

I honestly don't know if the passenger side bracket still lines up with the A/C pulleys. Hopefully someone can chime in.

Pass side alt bracket for a 455

I have a passenger side bracket for a 455 olds I would sell. If you are interested I will take pictures and send them to you. I could sell and ship it for $50. Sorry just realized you were talking about a 350....

I thought 350 used the same bracket, just a different hole. Have to look it up.

Bracket is the same between 350 & 455. If you mve the alt you will have to address the wiring.
