Looking for a used Buschur or Jay Racing alternator relocation kit. If it's not affordably priced, I'll just make my own.

Those won't work in a 2G chassis, if that's what you are trying to do.

So there's no way to mount the alternator where the A/C should be mounted?

I have a kit that I made for 1gs it probly could be modded to fit a 2g

If you try to do it like a 1G relocation kit, the alternator will be hitting the frame. The 2G chassis necks inward right around the strut tower. You could cut and rebox in the chassis, or do some creative work with your own alt relocation kit and run it off the inner part of the crank pulley that normally runs A/C.

That was my train of thought, but I wasn't aware that the tower was an issue till now. I'm not so stoked that someone else hasn't been creative enough to do this and sell it as a kit. Thanks for the input Shane.

Just don't buy a Buschur kit, they don't even work right on a 1G.

I can't even see how it would work. At least with the Jay Racing, you can see it mounted. I'll probably do something like that. Now that Shane mentions it, the shroud over the steering rack might be an issue, which means I'll probably have to mount it higher. Here's a pic of the Jay Racing setup:
