Default alternator and supercharger replacement

i'm bulting on a supercharger on my 5.0 and cant figure out where you bult on the alternator. the supercharger takes the alternators spot and you got to put the alternator down but i just can find any holes. has anyone done this and am i suppose to get another bracket?

What setup did you get? Sounds like a Vortech kit. I helped a buddy install his and it came with the big bracket for the charger, alt, and smog pump.. The alt was at the bottom, with the smog pump in the middle... Atleast thats how I think it went..Either way it should bolt to that big bracket they supplied in the kit.

I'd do it however the kit was designed... The S-trim I installed had the alternator on the bottom.
