ATI or Powerdyne fitting??

Ok so I have been measuring for days now trying to figure out a way to fit a self contained blower on my car. Anyone done it yet?? I know I can fit it if I remove power steering (which isnt a problem) and relocate the alternator (which doesnt look like I really have another nice place to put it). The only concern I have is without the removal of the alternator the supercarger is going into the light. Any hard facts or speculation will help, just fishing for ideas right now. Any help at all, who knows I might be able to make a kit for us 7th gen owners who so despratley need some more performance mods available.

Ok well here is the plan, I think I might have it figured out. If I take air conditioning and power steering off, then relocate the alternator where the air conditioning compressor is I think this is going to free up the space needed to hang the supercharger. I am hoping someone can see a different way so I dont have to remove the air and relocate the alternator because that means I need two custom mounting brackets and I want to keep cost down. Any info, ideas, or brain farts will be accepted, thanks.

Yeah, and you will lose all that power gained from removing it from the parasitic drain of the supercharger

Powerdyne's a not very good blowers above 6psi. The internal belts are horrid.... ATI's can be done but higher boost kits run intercoolers and the plumbing is quite tricky... They are oil lubed systems.... better off custom fitting a Vortech......
