Passenger side only works best if you don't have a/c. If you have a/c it is easiest to keep the compressor over there.

My PS pump is where the alt used to be and my alt is over on the pass side.

And since my Delco alt went Tango Uniform yesterday after 300 miles we're changing to a different style.
