Default question about brackets and headers

the car has headers, and some bozo took all the engine driven accessories off to "make more horsepower" (i.e. removed power steering and air conditioning) here comes the hard question.......if the alternator is on the passenger side, and needs to be moved to the drivers side so the AC compressor can be installed as well as the power steering pump, what do these brackets bolt on to? are they bolted to the block? or are they bolted to the exhaust manifolds somehow?????
HELP!!!!!

:cheers:

Default Re: question about brackets and headers (85_togo)

the alternator bracket is bolted to the head and the power steering bracket bolts to the block at the bottom with 2 long bolts and theres a bracket that goes on the rear of the power steering pump that also bolts to the motor mount.
