The alternator position won't be preferable by everyone, especially those using a stock take-out ECU and wiring harness. For those going with an aftermarket EFI system like those from Holley, then the connections needed are just as easily made as if the alternator was mounted elsewhere. I know our beloved GM trucks are the focus of this forum, but there are many more applications Holley makes swap parts for that require configurations or designs that are not necessarily optimized for our trucks.
Of course, I'm a master tech for BMW and one thing I know is you can't please everyone.. but appreciate the support holley is offering though

Does the holley brackets fit a stock lt1 alternator?

This is basically what it is.. it woukd use the captors alternator and tensioner... gonna need to put the intake on it, but it should be 0 problems with that, and ad far as hood clearance, it's only raised maybe 1-2 inches... if the intake is higher than the alt, no problems
