S-10 serpentine belt question

[ponchonorm]

Putting a serpentine belt setup off a 4.3 S series truck on my sbc. There is a bracket that bolts to the p/s pump and alternator and attaches to the exhaust manifold on the 4.3.
Is that bracket needed and if so, what kind of mods have people done to attach it back to the motor? Running headers and is no way that bracket is bolting up as is. Any suggestions?

Are you asking about the rod bracing?...if so, yes, I'd figure out a way to brace it somehow like the factory did.
