SSflyer Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I've seen in other posts that the stock A/C compressor can be left in the stock position if the mounting bracket is machined down. Mine just came back from the machine shop and when I went to install it I discovered that there's a boss on the block (approx. 1" x 1.5") that indexes the bracket and now holds it about 1/4"-3/8" away from seating tightly to the block itself. (Exactly the amount that was machined off.) Can the boss on the block be ground down without getting into the water jacket or some other internal passageway? If so, I planned to use an abrasive disc on an angle grinder. Any better ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleMX Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 I cut several of them off my LS1 without any problems. I run mine without the A/C bracket on and there are no leaks (bolt hole exposing water jacket), so my take is that you can cut it without hitting anything.
