Year? Engine?

I didn't have to relocate the alternator on my LT1 to put the Vortech on. The Vortech mounts on the driver's side of the engine, where there are no accessories (except for the disposable air pump).

>sorry should have been more specific...
I have a 1994 Z28 bored/stroked (396) with a Vortech T-trim and fmic (a-w) and 100 shot N2O. I was just wondering if the relocation brackets got in the way of the head unit.

Thanx

Yes, your only option is to find the kit that relocates it to where the a/c compressor is.

Look on ebay. There is a place selling neat alternator relocation brackets. You have to remove the powersteering though.
