All,
I have seen other kits out there and was not very impressed with the look and fitment. I like a stock look and wanted to use the stock atlernater bracket. This is what I came up with. I know its years late, but this was the timing...
What do you all think?

Bill,
i do have the CAD files for these parts. I can provide. In addition to the pulley, there is a special bolt to mount it, the belt is shorter, and you need to trim the stock atlernater bracket a bit.
If you are looking for the CAD files to make the parts, I do have an extra set I would let go at a reasonable price. I had a large plate when I warejet them so it yielded extras.

Looks great!
A drawing with dimensions would be appreciated. Belt size also.
