Alternator Bracket advice on 66, 350 with PS

I am looking to either replace the bracket I have or understand how to adjust it properly. I had a belt that was squealing bad and tried to change it and dang that aint easy with this bracket I have. Normally they loosen at the base to pivot and on the top brace to tilt towards the fan to loosen..not this one the body of the alternator is already right up against the bracket so it cant tilt inward.

So I had to remove 2 bracket bolts to the motor to get it to swing forward and removed the belt. I bought a new one and tried to install and it sounds worse than before because its not aligning properly to the fan pulley.

Geezer#99 has been a great help and passed this bracket along,

I need to check on whether or not it will work with the power steering I have.

Any others anyone can pass along?

Here is the closest Ive gotten to being aligned
