well got them then, as for alternator on the cav it sits by crossmember, on pic of it in a nova it up by driver's side strut, wot i gotta do here then?
if you have look in projects you will see that you have to do a cut out for alternator,have a look and you will see how much. this is to stop it from hitting rail..
think what your looking at is power steering pump. which is at front drivers side ..
