Thanks for all the suggestions.  Decided to relocate the alternator to 
passenger side.

I have most of the necessary hardware, except for the triangular smog 
pump brace (flat steel, bored with three locating holes) that attaches 
to the timing cover and fixes the front lower alternator mounting bolt 
location.

Blue painted part, lower left in this helpful link:

And right side in this helpful link:

Anyone have one available for purchase?

Thanks.
