... wouldn't putting the spacer behind the fan change the airflow going into the alternator?
Shouldn't the spacer go between the fan and the pulley?

Yes, you can put spacers behind the fan or behind the pulley. I suspect that moving the fan 1/4" further from the front of the alternator would have some impact on how much air gets shoved into the alternator...not sure how much but obviously the further you are from an air source, the less it is felt.
I put the spacers in front of the fan and behind the pulley. I'm not sure why this was necessary. I'd have thought that the stock brackets would have positioned so a stock alternator is properly positioned but it was not. Not sure why.
