I'd like to keep my A.C. Would you know any vendors who makes that custom bracket?

Cannot keep AC, alternator is behind the TB in stock config.
You move the alternator to the ACs location. The alternator is a must. AC is not. Mine is removed in fact without flipping the mani, though I may do it some day.
Also, you don't need a custom bracket. You can machine the AC bracket to fit the alternator according to Alex(Imprezer) who got the info from another source. A search may turn up some info, not clowning because I haven't checked.

You can keep AC on a GD WRX with reversed manifold. But then, the IC pipe connecting to the TB will have to have a very inefficient funky bend. And, you will have to make a buldge on your hood. Other than that, it is doable. I know. I tried.
I removed my AC. What you need to do is to flip the alternator to the other side, make a tentioner and belt idler. Pretty easy. I will do a write up once I free up some time.
Worked out great.
As far as I know, no one makes "brakets" for this setup. You need to do some work yourself. Not that hard.
