heres a little setup we built on my 01 LS.. basically cut the center motor mount off..

added another pully.. welded supports and thicker steel to help with the extra tension.. this pully in the picture is not the one we used in the end. we ended up with a 4inch pully because this one was making the belt slip on the power steering pump..

Pretty neat. Glad you were able to make it come together. When there is no aftermarket kit for it, it can take a lot of time to figure out and fab something up like this.

thank you guys.

took one full day. had it torn down in the AM and i drove it home that night with both alts on it. ALOT of trial and error throughout the day.. the guy that built it is a genius. and a great fabricator..

Im going to guess that the red battery light comes on the dash when you go to 15.1v ? I drove it for the first time since I did all the wiring and I noticed the red light come up a few times.. I have multiple digital gauges but they are all reading off the rear battery bank and amps. And they arnt 100% accurate... anyone care to chime in id appreciate it..

Cool set up
If I remember correctly. The light will come on if your over a certain voltage I want to say 15.5-16 volts but it's been awhile since I worked on those cars.

Nice job. Does it still run off 1 belt or do you add a 2nd one?
