If you ever tried running a passenger side alternator on an engine without the accessory holes, you will know why someone fabbed a mickey mouse bracket set up for the lower alt mount bolt on this car.
He probably added ps, and could not find the correct ps pump mounting brackets. They are vary scarce. All the lower HP engines used a different set up. On my 68 El Camino, to run and 8 inch balancer, I had to modify the ps bracket to clear.

Point taken and good catch on the cylinder head bolt holes Lynn! It's beyond my comprehension why anyone would swap to LWP, unless just using parts available?
Cutting the lower ps bracket for 8" balancer clearance would be much easier than mickey mousing an alt bracket IMO.
