How to Swap a 3.5 2gen alt on a 1gen 3.0

1.Will need a spacer est 1/2in or a bit over.
2.Use Both OEM bolts
3.Hacksaw blade
4.Will have to get a new surptine belt larger about 2.5in longer. Stock is 53in so you want about 55-56in. I used a Gatorback 4050545 That is 54.5in
6.The belt I got was all most to short. But I was able to get it to work I have to remove both idler pulleys and put the belt on the alt be fore I bolted any part of it on and then was a pain but got all the 2 idlers back on and just have it as lose as it can be.

Sorry about the typo
