Get a different PS/Alt bracket is about the only other solution.

I don't even know how stock manifolds could have worked with where the alternator is.

I had CMI Unitops on my Pantera and have E Tops on my AT and neither were/are even close to that tight. Both used the factory merc PS/Alt bracket.

Wow, that's a problem. My hose was snugg but not that snugg. I found that the brass 90* fittings for the pex tubing that can be found at any Home Depot worked for me. I had to splice in 90* fittings to get my tubes to clear.
