Did you get that alternator relocation bracket from a vendor or did you have it fabricated? I would imagine its to move the alternator out of the way of some tall valve covers to clear shaft mount rockers right?
You can also get them off Ebay for the non-pressurized stuff. The valve covers required a bit more work. I had to use a hard line adaptor on the pass side, and then bore out the vent tube and tap threads for a pipe thread to AN adapter on the driver's side. The valley vent got a hard line adapter too, after cutting off the end.
EVAP is still there.... I used Gates power grip shrink clamps on the OEM quick connects for those lines (stole that idea from someone else on this site).

D3pe in Houston makes them. Exactly for what you said.
I'm not looking for a new alternator myself right now - mine is still fine - but if I need one I'll consider one of these.
Kinda wish I saw this to add to my research, but oh well. I went with a DC engineering unit, all the reviews I read put them up at the top of the heap. Got the lowest rated one, 170amps. Black anodized and powder coated body.
Just finished my HCI, manifold still has some of my greasy paw prints on there. little more work to do, to include some new valve covers, but its running now, so I'm happy!
