Some progress... Got the mount fabricated and bolted together. The mount will be attached to the battery brace. I had to remove the front bumper and the left fender for an unrelated reason, and the battery brace was right there for the taking. The stock power steering pump has been removed, and the serpentine belt has been replaced with an 82 inch length one.
The mount is made of aluminum square tubing, 1 in x 1 in, with a thickness of 1/8 inch. The bolts used are 5/16 in 304 stainless steel.
