Default Clearance issues. F20B Swap

About to drop in an F20B into my 93 delsol. I heard issues with clearance for the alternator. I did some reasearch and i didnt find much. Couple pictures hear and there but nothing that anwsers my question.
F20b is physically smaller than a h22 so do i ignore this.. whats is a balance shaft....

An f20b is not smaller in size externally, only internally. If this is a straight swap with an h/f tranny then you have no issues. Google can be your friend if you want to know about balance shafts.

It shouldnt hit,everything should clear with a swap like yours,test fit it first to make sure,if it hits then just knock the frame rail abit till you gain clearance...
