I have thought of doing the same thing myself... stupid place to put an electrical component. I have heard of people adapting the A/C Bracket to accept the Alternator, but I believe you would then have to adapt the idler pulley to the bottom.
The Jeep Wrangler (TJ, maybe YJ as well?) has the Alt in the upper location and the A/c lower on the other side. If you could find a trashted TJ or at least a complete 4.0 out of one you could use the front accessories from it.

thank you if u find a pic plz put so i can see it thank u
The 98 TJ does not have the alternator on the top. But the YJ does. But to do that you would need to install a serious electric fan, like the Taurus fan to replace your mechanical fan

I stand corrected... I knew I had seen a 4.0 with the alternator on top. Thank you Steve.

No problem. The only reason I know is that my son has one of each. And I get to spend time under the hood of both

Just to muddy the waters a little bit.
Stock factory, '97, RHD, setup .......
You may need to look at fan arrangements as 4.3LXJ suggested ... and I dont know whether pulley sizes vary from LHD to RHD ...
Best bet might be to find a RHD U.S. postie unit ... and run the tape measure over it ??.
edit .... and if recall correctly ... the alternator was in the way of accessing #1 plug on my RHD TJ too.

I hate watching simplicity and reliability being ruined by bureaucracy and technology.
