Default Altenator Relocation

Is it possible to use the Fbody bracket to relocate the altenator to the lower driver side of the block? Would it require switching to the power steering setup of the Fbody cars?

Unsure what would all have to be switched around but I do know that if you have a IRON block the F-Body mounts will not bolt up to the drivers side correctly. Only two of the 4 holes are there on the irons, one of them can be drilled and tapped leaving you with 3 of the 4....

I was looking at Gorrillavettes build, the one with the twin turbos and lsx, and he has the altenator mocked up in the Fbod location Ill probably ask him what he is doing for it.

the "box" on the steering rack will not allow fitment.
