Default Lightweight Mini Alternator for stock location?

I've searched for hours and keep coming up with nothing.
Does anyone make a lightweight alternator that mounts to the stock location on a C5? Amperage output doesn't matter as the car is completely gutted with no electronics other than the fuel pumps and BCM/PCM.

I recently used the GZ motorsports lightweight mini alternator on my C5 drag car but it was mounted just under the stock alternator location. I made a custom bracket to mount it and can send you a picture of it installed on the engine if you will pm me your email address. I sold the alternator but still have the bracket.

That's the thing. I don't want to get into the custom bracket thing.
I can't believe that there's no bolt-in aftermarket race alternator for the C5 which is the closest thing to a race car that most folks could ever get.

No many gutted Corvettes around that would justify making a custom lightweight alternator that bolts up to stock brackets.

Making a bracket to mount a race alternator would be easy.
