Default Alt bracket ideas

Ok I got the 427 in the car so I need some ideas on where to put the alt. I have BBC short water pump and the factory alt brackets but the tall valve covers get in the way. Has anyone had this problem? Do you have pics of what you did? I would like to keep the Alt on the driverside top so if I add air later I could use the pass side. I am open to ideas.

BTW I am taking the rubber fuel line off and putting braided. This why I am trying to figure out where to put the alt so I can plumb accordingly. I had to take the fuel pump off just to put a 90 on the supply side because there wasnt enough room to put it in with it installed.
