I got about that far with the A/C compressor removal and then just decided to remove the P/S as well. I had originally cut pieces of steel tubing to go between the plates on the bracket and I was going to use some long bolts to go through the outboard plate, through the tube, and through the inboard plate to stiffen it up. Alternately, you could gut the A/C compressor and just use the aluminum case mounted to stiffen the bracket.

As I said, I never got so far as to mount the thing up, but I was a bit dissapointed to see that the issue had not been addressed in the kit that I purchased.
