I cut off the idler bracket cast to the alt/power steering bracket pretty much where the new throttle body will be! And I made a new idler bracket and extended the belt with vise grips and a lenght of a saprentine belt, hope to match up the right size tomorrow.

I am wondering if the GTO fuel rail covers I want to get will be in the way of the altenator... which would kinda suck after all this work, making a custom bracket.. just to go ahead and get the car acessory brackets anyway!
