ARH header install question
On LT1's, what is everybody doing with the three braces from the alternator and compressor to the header studs?

On my LT4 I was able to make the brackets fit except for one. This was the tubular looking brace with a hole on each side. I had to cut, reposition, redrill, and reweld. Then I painted it black. You can't tell that it's not factory. ARH told me this bracket/brace was not necessary but I wanted it in there. GM didn't put it in there for no reason. Do a search for my old write up here on the forum.

I put a set of stainless works on. Shim with washers behind alt brace and I took the oe bolt from the factory manifold ground of the nut flange and used a colar to simulate the thickness of the old manifold. A little grinding on braces by the header pipe and ready to go.
