Confused what to do with a 5.9L serpentine setup

I'm dealing with the same issues. I have the same valve covers and I'm about to try and finish up my accessories. I cut the bracket factory AC / alt bracket up a bit today to clear the water neck, and realized I was going to have an alternator problem. I had purchased the larger alternator, are you using the smaller amperage one?

I'm not sure if mine is the 117A or 136A but I believe the cases are the same. I tried to go the same alternator mount as you but the van PS pump mount caused the belt to rub the water pump pulley because the idler pulley locations on the A/C and non-A/C alternator mounts are in different locations.
