Default Crx LSV SWAP

Try finding answers on here but couldn't find any.
Im swapping a LSV motor on to a crx.
Theres No clearance between Alternator pulley and lower engine bay frame
Not letting me mount the engine on driver side.
I herd i have to make a nice dent on the frame for clearance on the pulley to be able to mount the motor.
Any suggestions?
Anyone experienced this?
Previous crx owner had a lsv motor in it.
Am i not doing somthing right?

Yes, you need to hammer that part of the frame in so it clears. Is that part already hammered in?

I dont think it is.
Il have to double check.
He must of used a 90-93 integra pulley.
I herd using those will make clearance with a delsol belt.

All B swaps I've done I've had to hammer in that spot. I've never tried other pulleys though.

2lb sledge gets the job done. On my all motor b20 crx I'm running a d series alternator, you have to modify the top bracket to make it work and you'll need a 3 rib alt belt.
