The only thing I saw back there was the oil drain to the oil pump pan, no A/C lines... they all seem to be over on the driver side. Dryer/accumulator too.

You have to replace the output wiring too if you are going to be able to safely perate a bigger alternator, what's the sense of burning up the wiring? I found some 8 gA teflon wire that will handle 115 A peak if two are paralleled. Where you attach the load(s) is also important, so an additional bus or fuse block for aux. blowers is highly recommended, the existing terminal assy is a bit overloaded if you ask me.

That's a given. I'd run a single 4awg back to the battery, no fuseable link. Big inline holder.
This is pie compared to swapping in a 3G from a 2G Ford. You have to ditch the entire factory harness, add a wire to get the stator to come on from the reg harness, get a 12v switched... not the easiest thing but going from 65A to 130A...
Any idea what that does at idle?
