Exclamation mid mount alternator setup

hi everybody, I have to mid mount my alternator and get rid of the ac and ps also i want to retain a serpentine setup on my 5.0l, I was wondering if anyone has done this. I will settle for just the mid mount alternator using the serpentine belt and am shur i will need to get the ps eliminator bracket. this is one major hold up in my swap cause i cant wire the car untill i can sort this out. please help me i need the help in the worst way. also for anyone woundering this is not a swap into a mustang but a 5.0l into a mazda.
thanks again, please help me

ac eliminator kit . you mount it were the ac used to be and you don't have to change the belt either.

?????? i guess i should clear up a couple things. the motor is a 89 5.0l and i am shure the ac sat high on the driverside, like ontop of the ps pump. the reason i am going to a sn95 setup is the shorter water pump that i NEED and inturn need the rest of the accessory set up.
could i see a pic of the engine bay with the midmount alternator? is it on the passenger side? or drivers side? sorry i am asking stupid things, i am new to the piston engine world(rx7 for life, no to keep the car alive i am swaping in a 5.0l) and am kinda relearning alot as i go so helpis super cool and i am greatfull for it.

i think i am right in saying the sn95 waterpump and accessory is the shortest. nowall i need to do is get the alternator lower and get rid of the ps, ac, and smog pump, while keeping the serpentine belt (if possible). so any sugestions?

You did not indicate what model Mazda you are using in your swap, but I know there are kits to swap a 5.0 into a Miata. I believe they call them "Monster Miata's" hope this helps. Desert Dale.

I am swaping into a 88 rx7. I have the motor mounted allready using the "grannys speed shop" (www.grannysspeedshop.com) swap fit. My problem is that the water pump(from the 89motor) is about a half inch away from the rad and I dont have a fan on yet! I have to get a bit more room between the water pump and the rad so I planed on going to a sn95 setup because it is shorter by about an inch and should allow my the clearence I need betwwen the rad and water pump, as well as has good aftermarket support for things like pullies ect. Also the lines of the car are much more sloping at the front so the alternator is in the way so i need to move it down(mid mount it).
