I'm looking for some nice looking brackets for belt driven accessories -- alt & A/C only, no PS. V-belt or serpentine. I'm aware of March, Billet Specialties, Zoops, & VintageAir's... are there any others out there i should look at? I may have enough room for a long nose water pump set up, but am especially interested in brackets that'll work with a short nose pump.
Thanks.

Rob,
I have brackets and v belt pulleys from Street and Performance out of Mena, Arkansas that look great plus the Powermaster alternator and Sanden A/C compressor fit fine. Depending on what kind of car you are putting the 302 in, may require an idler pulley. I made one out of scrap pieces I had around plus a short 3/8 turn buckle from Speedway. They may have one but mine was cheap plus cannot be seen anyhow. These are on a Model A roadster with a real narrow engine compartment.
I am using a standard long pump from Stewarts. With the Street and Performance pieces you MAY have to put a 1/8 shim in back of the A/C compressor bracket, depending on the head vintage and bolt holes, but, again it can't be seen.
Just make sure you tell them EXACTLY what you need or you may be spending some time running back and forth with UPS as I did - one was their screw up, the other was mine. Fords are tough to do brackets and pulleys, regardless of what anyone else says.
A couple photos are attached (I hope)
