Sorry If I this info is around but I can't remember.
A/C or not AC ?
the bracket changes depending on this.
Lower bracket ( adjuster bracket ) changes too

that´s an A/C bracket setup as Bob mentioned.... I'm trying to find a GOOD pic of a non A/C setup pic. The top bracket fits further forward and the bottom bracket doesn't have the reinforcement extension to the engine mount bolt

another view... this is a 440, but pretty much the same. Just using a diff hole of the top bracket due the deck height difference  |

this setup requires 3 spacers... two for the alt top bolt itself and one for the bottom bolt shared by both brackets  |

the alt itself is located in exactly same place on both, so an A/C setup can be used on a non A/C engine. The diff is because the A/C compressor bracket use some of the non A/C alt bracket bolts provisions, hence the reason why A/C alt top bracket was installed on a deeper location and fits on back of the front alt ear, instead in front.
