Also, the shop that's putting this all together for me found an Isuzu starter that is actually turned up snug against the engine so you don't have to off-set the engine.
I have that other Isuzu starter on my engine. The downside is it draws a lot more current than the geared version, so make sure your starting system can handle it. Mine draws around 300 amps peak on 24v.

I'm running the stock Isuzu AC compressor, I think I have a modified tensioner bracket which tucks it in a little closer (protrudes less than the starter) but it still uses the same factory mount as the alternator.
