For those of you trying to keep air conditioning, this might help. When putting a front mount intercooler in my van, we made custom alternator brackets that move the alternator 3 inches closer to the engine, allowing the condenser to be mounted on the inside of the radiator support.

Looking directly down at the alternator, the bracket on the radiator support is for the condenser. Fits with room to spare.

Cool. I could really use one of those on Omni. The NPR intercooler is damned near touching the alternator. I had to grind off the ground stud and reattach it to the other ground stud on the alt case just for the end tank to fit there.

Is there someway to have one of these made for me? I need a bit more room on that side to move my radiator over for a stock IC. PM me with details if you can.

Thanks,
Paul

Oh, I have a Dodge 600, all stock for now.

Are you selling these brackets? I could really use something like this.

I may have mis-read, but are you putting the condenser behind the radiator?

On the minivan, the condenser is in front of the radiator support. I'm not very familiar with other turbo dodges, but I do know that on every turbo dodge I have seen, the alternator comes within a half inch or so of the radiator support. There is no room between the alternator and the radiator support. After close inspection of the alternator and how it is mounted, you can see that there is a ton of room between the alternator and engine to be had. So we made a bracket kit that moves the alternator approximately 3 inches closer to the engine, leaving room between the radiator support and alternator for anything - radiator, condenser, intercooler...

We can make these alternator kits, I posted this thread to see if there was any interest. Please continue to ask questions and let me know what you think.
