Your power steering is already at the bottom on the drivers side, so it doesn't need relocated. As far as the alternator, you could mount it low on the passenger's side (where the smog pump used to be) if you fabbed up the appropriate bracket. You'll need to either go to a V-belt setup or find a way to mount an idler pulley so that you can route the serpentine...I would think a couple of V-belt pulleys would be quicker and easier. Also if you're trying to clean it up you'll need to get old-style brackets for the P/S pump because the big aluminum one is gonna look weird sticking out with no alternator on it.

You could also check out march products for the brackets you want That way you could keep the serpentine. I bet you could get an idler pulley to take the place of the alternator. Good luck
I went w/out the power steering, so I just have the crank, water pump and the alternator. That made it real easy
