I removed it and relocated a smaller second alternator using the original vacuum pump mount and location. I am currently using the original A/C bracket with some modifications to mount the A/C that I have installed.. The Pineapple bracket did seem
to vibrate a bit and seemed to line the alternator belt slightly out of true. The pineapple bracket I have was purchased by my friend David Staten (who monitors and post on occasion). I think he would not mind selling it if someone is interested.
The bracket may be fine as it is but I may want to brace it a bit.

| There were a few out there who had used the pineapple alternator relocating bracket while they made them...
If you are out there and noted the vibration characteristics it would be helpful if you could share your experience.
Thank You.
