alternator and a/c mounting:NEED HELP!

I am going to run an electric water pump on my fd so the water pump housing is now gone that the alternator bolts to. any idea where or who i can get an alternator bracket fabricated by? and also this might sound funny, i took off my power steering pump, but keeping a/c (RX-7 in fl=sweat ballz). so all i will have is the alternator and the a/c compressor and i bought an unorthodox racing single belt main drive pulley and i was going to use the alternator to tention the belt,well now the problem is that the a/c compresor sits too far foward for the single belt pulley. Is there a single belt pulley that sits farther forward or should i have a new a/c compressor bracket made to move it back to line up, or use a dual belt pulley with a tentioner somewhere for the a/c???????Has anyone ever ran into this problem?

The Glass Man had a group buy going for new alt. relocation brackets, but it required removal of the a/c and ps.
I am running a Pettit main drive w/ a belt wrapped over the idler pulley and around the a/c w/ no ps.

so that would require me getting a dual belt main drive pulley, one for the a/c and idler pulley and one for the alt. but that still leaves me with the alt mounting prob. cant find mounting brackets anywhere.or anyone to make them.
