Ok time for an update.
So I decided I needed to figure out my accessories before proceeding with my motor mounts. The power steering pump and oem motor mount perch were going to try to occupy the same space as I mention in my last update. I had hinted that the power steering pump assembly would be pretty close to a bolt in. Well yea that was wrong. It does nearly bolt up... until the motor is in and the bracketry is contact with the steering column shaft. Scratch that...

Time to make the power steering smaller. I decided to disassemble the pump and remove the reservoir.
There are two clips that you need to pull back the center and slide them off.

I had already removed them but i wanted pictures.
Once the clips are removed a light tug and the reservoir pulls off.

I will now take a 3/4 npt tap and tap the return port and be able to thread a 3/4 npt barb fitting. Similar to the one pictured.

Now the actual pump is very compact. Smaller then the actual pulley.
After I finished making the pump smaller I started trying to figure out mounting. I really wanted to keep the accessories near their stock location but as with any swap you most to where ever it works.
The NPR alternator is larger in diameter then the jeep alt. And with the vacuum pumps needs to up high for the oil return.
This is what i have come up with so far. I have mainly concentrated on the driver side. Even though i have steering shaft , master cylinder , exhaust/turbo, power steering, water pump outlet and alternator all on the driver side I still have more room then on the passenger.
I really wish the water pump spun counter clockwise. Would make the rest of this a breeze

Its hard to tell but things line up nicely. Using one of the stock power steering pump brackets, A single washer and the npr alternator mounted to the stock Kubota alternator boss things line up very close with the Toyota harmonic balancer.
I will get better pictures of alignment on Sunday, going paintballing for my sons 10th birthday tomorrow.
So a idler pulley here and there and the ac pump and i should be good to go. I am going to try to reuse the jeep ac bracket because it has a very nice assembly and an idler built in.

Hoping to accomplish mounting the ac bracket with the front motor mount bolt holes and possibly have to incorporate the ac mount into the passenger motor mount.
Now just trying to figure out how to route the belt
Thanks
