Power Steering/Alternator bracket

[tbauer03]

Would it be ok to ditch this bracket and just bolt the power steering pump in with the 3 bolts. and the alternator with just 2?
Only reason i ask is i can't get my valve covers on or off with this bracket in the way. And renting a power steering pump pulley puller (say that 5 times fast) from autozone is a pain in the ass.

I would say keep the bracket. Consider buying a puller/install kit. I think I got mine at a swap meet for $20.

I'm able to remove my valve covers without removing the bracket or the alternator. I know you have different rocker arms though.

What did you decide about the rocker arm studs?
