Default Big Block billet PS and alternator brackets with headers

I just finished removing the headers in order to re-torque the heads on my new engine and with the original power steering pump and alternator bracket that is a major PITA.
So now i'm looking for information on billet aluminum alternator- and power steering pump brackets that will fit on the Corvette.

I have looked at these two:
http://www.summitracing.com/int/part...make/chevrolet
http://www.summitracing.com/int/part...make/chevrolet
, but the alternator bracket doesn't fit if the power steering pump bracket is used and I also don't know if they will fit the Corvette at all?

Anyone know of a set of brackets (for V belts) that fit?

Maybe this will work (but I will need a PS pump with remote reservoir, so it gets a bit expensive):

And you cannot always count on the few people who have done what you need to necessarily see your open question here.

Good Luck!

I have always been aware the head bolts of the old engines of the 1940's and 1950's that used copper head gaskets needed re-torquing but I have never heard of the modern composition head gasket bolts needing to be re-torqued.

Yes, I did search, but didn't find any answers. There are lots of threads on serpentine conversions, but that is not what I want.
The Summit site has lots of different brackets, but it has been my experience that a lot of the information on their site is wrong and they don't list any Corvette specific kits or parts for this.

I'm no expert, this was my first engine build so I just did as the vendor told me.
