Pics Needed: CS144 alternator on a early 350

My 240Z has a 12SI that is mid mounted on a 70's 350 with a Alan Grove bracket designed for the electric water pump. I am upgrading to a CS144 140 Amp alternator because with everything running there is not any reserve left with the 12SI.

 

The CS144 adjusting ear misses the adjusting slot in the bracket. I can make another bracket using just the water pump holes and the mounting/pivot hole at the top, that will be the easiest. I then have to make some kind of adjuster. What have others done to make this all go together with the least amount of fuss? The first picture is a 12SI installed, the CS144 will need to have the adjusting slot lower. The second picture is a Alan Grove mount for the rear of the alternator for a small block without bolt holes in the head. Kinda looks like with spacers it can be used for the front of the alternator. But I still need a belt adjuster of some type.
