cool, about to mount the new brackets for the power steering. Kind of vague can someone explain a little better on how and where these exactly bolt to. You have a alum. Bracket and a stamped bracket that comes with this kit.

After I take the power steerig bracket and unit off, then where do I go? Thanks

They are larger, 150 amp.

I have them on my 94 gt and the voltage can get a little low, at night, at idle. I have not followed the instructions to bump the idle up 1-200 rpms yet as it has not been much of an issue, I havenoticed that just my footresting on the gas pedal(RPM goes up minorly) that it is solved. and I have a large stereo and its only gettin bigger but I am plannin on going to a 200 amp alt.....

92cobra, that is not true for my carbecause I am telling you I have never had a charging problem with my car. How much do you guys let your car idle? I understand what you are saying but I don't have a big stereo or any other electrical draws on the car other that an MSD and an electric fan. I have under-drive pullies and the stock alternator with no issues. I have owned the car since 99'and as soon as I bought it I put BBK pullies on it, including the alternator pulley. I guess I don't let it idle enough to mess with charging.

we debate UD pullies on here a few times a month and there is always somebody to say that it causes problem, or it CAN do this or that. Nobody ever replies back saying that it DID do this or it DID do that to their car. The only time you will have ANY problems with charging is at idle and even then they are minimal. My voltage dropes down close to 12v at night with the lights on but otherwise it runs 14+V anytime it is above 1000 rpms, which is 95% of the time...

Charges normal. I left that pully alone, worked out fine. Nice improvement. That smog pump was loud and annoying. Thanks again to all who helped out.
