Removing A/C Condenser, moving Alternator!

So I plan to remove my A/C Compressor and place the Alternator where the Compressor is.

1. Is there a bracket or will I have to get something fabbed?

2. Should I put a idle pully in place of the A/C Compressor or get a shorter belt?

Anyone stories or part number would be great

I did it again, I thought it was called a condensor... of course after I click enter I find it's called a compressor...

There IS an a/c condensor/condenser, usually mounted in front of the radiator and looking like, well, a smaller radiator. But the term "condensor" is appropriate for it.

I'm looking not at the condensor, I'm look at the compressor, this is why I hate the fact I can't change the title of the threads here... now everyone is going to go WTF and ignore the thread

Over here the alternator is top left, and the compressor bottom right, looking from the front. So the OE parts are available.

I'm about to remove my compressor and just use a shorter belt.
