Got some Aussie  :aussie: questions for you smart people about trying to minimise engine bay clutter.

I'm looking for a low mount a/c compressor bracket, preferably on the passenger side to minimise piping from the firewall. I hate the high mounts and am running a 6 pack. Having a lot of trouble finding anything.

I found a low mount alternator mount (driverside) on eBay - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/330612152993?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT which mounts the alternator low on driverside.

I plan on running and electric water pump and electric power sterring to keeps the engine bay cleaner and rid the a/c compressor from the top of the Block. I've read a Mercedes unit will work but im sure someone else has done it hi.

I'm struggling to find:

1 any recommended or available relocation kids for the a/c location low on the passenger side or a good water pump and layout to compliment.

2 Has anyone done this set up before?

3Pitfalls?

4 advantages?

5 Vendors?

Apart from a really expensive bracket and pulley set I found from March I'm not turning up much....

Can you guys help me out withy some sugs/advice on this one?  :feedback:

I got some pics of what I'd like to do attached but no detail...

Thanks
