Alternator move too a/c position

[Bezerk1]

Has anyone here bought those special brackets to move the alternator where the a/c unit was.  Did you have any luck with older 4.0.  Read you just have to get a 77 and fraction belt compared to at 74 and fraction belt for 96 to 01

If you have removed ac and are not replacing it, wouldn't a delete pully solve the problem?

Factory RHD models mounted the alternator high on the right hand side of the engine.  

Factory RHD 1991-2001, I've never seen a Renix RHD.  

These photos are just mockups with the RHD alternator mount, I haven't actually ran this setup.  This is on a 1991 XJ engine that was converted to a YJ setup by swamping the water pump and removing the offset mechanical fan bracket.  Also this engine has the 99+ horseshoe intake manifold and matching PS bracket.

I looked into them also thanks

I have the no-idler A/C & mech fan bracket + W/P pulley from a 98 XJ, intake & PS setup from a 99 XJ with the (US made) Ebay relo kit, using an HO alternator:

 

 

My belt size came to 74". My only concern with this setup is how well the belt will engage the mech fan pulley. An A/C compressor, with its much larger diameter pulley probably gives an additional 20* of engagement against the mech fan pulley than the smaller alternator pulley. I'll find out if that's an issue when I finally get my rig running. The HO alternator does require installing an external regulator, not too difficult.

 

The guy who makes the REM has a video on the job using an 89 XJ to demonstrate:
