no problem, anytime.
when buying an air filter, make sure you don't get one that's too tall or it'll hit the hood. they do sell some fairly shallow filters. greenfox has had one on his 40 for years and it works well. also de-clutters the engine some.
when moving the alt to the passenger side, try to find a set of brackets of a 2f engine. make sure you buy the complete set, with the lower bracket, upper bracket, tensioner and other hardware.
you will need to lengthen the alt leads slightly but that's a fairly simple job. keep in mind that the charge lead is always "hot" so i suggest dis-connecting the ground wire at the battery while working on this part of the conversion........
