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.

Anyone have one available for purchase?
Thanks.
