Default Lindsey Racing AC delete install questions

i got a lindsey racing ac delete kit second hand and i think i may be missing parts...

this is the new bracket that also can fit the small bosh alternator. my problem is, with the stock alternator, the bracket is thinner than the two tabs on the alternator, what is supposed to keep it from sliding back and forth?

the hole in the stock ac tensioner is also for a larger bolt than the alternator tensioner tab accepts. do i just use the smaller bolt despite the slop?

the electrical wires also seem a little short to make it to the alternator. they make it, but not by much...

how much wiggle room is there between the alt tabs and the bracket?

for the tensioner bolt you need to find a sleeve that fits the tensioner hole and the bolt hole, i had one before that i just found somewhere but i sold it with my old delete bracket.

was i supposed to have a sleeve left over that fit here? i had one, but it was too big i think.

thats what i am planning, but i was wondering if a spacer was provided with these kits from lindsey.

i also still need the "bushing" that goes inside the tensioner turnbuckle, anone know where i can find one?
