No because the alternator and A/C compressor are on opposite sides.

Can the SD bracket be modified so that the pump can be installed?

Anything is possible, it just wouldn't be a bolt on deal. I was looking to fab one up myself and thought this was going to be a cheap alternative.

Google is a quick way to find whats out there.

Ebay has some of the stuff listed new or used including the pump pulley. It depends. Sometimes you can find a listing for a used pump that will have the correct pulley included. Currently there is a listing for a used engine bracket for $73.

The Dorman pulley listed for the van does not work.

I got lucky and walked into a friend's shop where he had an engine from an ambulance conversion that had two A/C compressors cobbled onto it. So, you never know!

Here is a listing for a rebuilt pump with pulley

I am going to try it and at least get the pulley in hand. If the pump doesn't work out, go with a Motorcraft.

That pump with pulley in the application chart is for gas vans only. Rockauto says the Dorman pulley for the gas vans and for the later 6.0 pulleys are the same. And the gas/6.0 Dorman pulley is the wrong one for the 7.3 diesel vans. I have that pulley in hand and it is not the same as the 7.3 van pulley I have.

There are several other van pump/pulleys listed on ebay and they are all gas van applications.
