Default Hooker Side Exhaust Header Questions??

I have a 1979 L48 and I am looking to purchase Hooker side pipes and headers (part #2224HKR). Do I need a different alt. bracket? I can't see how the one on hookers site will work?(part #10927) The stock bracket mounts to the head not the manifold. Is it for clearance? I need to have everything ready, because i have the use of a lift, but only for one day, and I need to drive the car out of there. If anyone has pics of this setup I would appreciate it.

I just put a set of S.S hookers on my '79. I had no problems with the alternator bracket,I used my stock one.I did not put the A/C back on after the rebuild so that wasn't a problem. I think the only bracket people have to change is the A/C gracket.

Default Thanks!

I didn't think the Alternator would be a problem and I am working on a spacer for the A/C. Got to have A/C way down here in extreme South Florida!!

I didn't need it on my '76. I think it's for earlier years.
