Interesting!  I would never have thought to have the tensioner at the same side as the pivot bolt. 

I'm curious as to how the a/c version of the mounting bracket differs to the non a/c version.  What I can see of your's looks like what I have.

Thanks!

The non-AC bracket puts the alt a couple inches lower and a little closer to the injection pump such that the belt is shorter and tensioner is under the alternator.  I'll post a picture when i get home from work.
