Thanks for the reply. I believe you mean mounting the "post style idler" here:

I have a couple of questions if this is really where they mount. The metal "post" doesn't go into the motor at all and it seems hard to believe that the bolt wouldn't eventually break off. It is also pretty far forward. I think it's too far forward(my double crank pulley is not on the car at this time so I cna't tell for sure.) I suppose I could take some metal off the post but ???

The part that really confuses me is that it would place the idler and the compressor on the same(driver's) side of the motor. The compressor brackets I've seem are all fixed and the idlers are usually what you use to tension the second(AC) belt(and all the other style idlers are on the passenger side). How did you adjust the tension on your setup?

Thanks again.
Bear
