zgeezer Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 There are a number of ways to mount your a/c compressor on you GEN III engine swap. Here is one from newman car creations that while, pricey ($550) is elegant and could by replicated. This one mounts a Sanden compressor. There are other choices, Vintage Air's new catalogue lists the a simple ls1 bracket conversion kit that mounts a Sanden 508 compressor and reduces the distance from crank centerline to edge of compressor to 13.5 inches if you cut off on mounding ear of the compressor. This is their bracket kit 141803-MCA There is a member on this forum that cut back the stock a/c bracket to locate the stock compressor closer to the engine center line and then offset his engine centerline to the driver's side. I think his handle is BRIGUY g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage42 Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 So, is the mount $550 or does it include a compressor? JCI sells the mount & compressor for $450, so I was just wondering. Here it is on my LS6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And new hoses. And a new dryer. JCI's kit is a bargain in my book. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
