2g Alternator Bracket vs 1g bracket??

[rarest_90_DsM]

here's the question is a 1g alternator bracket and tensioner set up the same vs a 2g setup? The reason i ask is Ive recently acquired a 2g and am having problems with the ps belt hitting the alternator, I noticed this because the previous owner had broken off a few chunks of the alternator housing so the ps belt would clear, (obviously a real pro). So i was thinking that maybe the 1g and 2g brackets were different, and they have a 1g bracket on my 2g. Did a search and found nothing? There is obviously some thing wrong here. any help and pics would be great thanks! guys ill post pics on my situation in a min.

OK here's the pics. i think whats going on it they tried to eliminate the ac and put the ps/ac belt on the alt and the alt belt on the ps does this make sense?

Nevermind I just realised they didn't put the second pulley back on the water pump kinda makes you wonder what else they did

Hah ha, good catch I was going to say why is your PS belt going around the crank? I think they probably left the alt pulley on the water pump since you cant really get rid of your alternator and your probably missing the p/s pulley. I have an extra if you need one.

oh, if you do need it PM me bc I wont be back to this post.

For what it is worth, 1G and 2G alternator brackets are different. If I remember correctly, the 2G bracket is shorter than the 1G.

But what you have going on there, as you stated, the belt is routed incorrectly. The power steering pump is powered off a secondary belt from the water pump. The water pump and alternator are powered on the same belt. So crankshaft turns water pump and alternator with a single belt. There are two pulleys on the water pump and that second pulley drives the belt that turns the power steering pump. Separate belt from that which turns the alternator.
