AC eliminator

I will pull out the AC in my 88 T-bird with 5.0.
I'm thinking of using FMS M-8511-A50 which moves the power steering pump to the place of AC compressor.
This kit is for Mustang 5.0.
Does anyone have any experience with this kit?
Will it fit for the T-bird 88?

Is that not the same as what we have now for a power steering pump bracket or is it different?

Yep. Found that out when I pulled everything appart. Now I have a stang pump with relocation bracket to the head. Now what belt do I need for a 351w with p/s and alt?
