Anyone tried this AC mount w/ headers?
 
So I am stuck.
I ended up putting Flowtech headers on my engine and now can't get the AC mount back on. I have tried to modify the factory piece but the bolt head won't fit in the space between the mount and the header tube.

Jegs make this one:

And I am wondering if anyone has used it and what the impression is of this piece.

FWIW....here is the point that I am at:

On my 87 we just modified the A/C bracket as I recall.

I'll see about going that route in the morning. I figured it needed the both sides to be stable.
Thanks for the pictures.

I didn't use that one. But. I did do this. ...I swapped sides with my alt and a/c compressor.
Alan Grove made me the bracket's. Call em they'll fix you up no matter what side you chose...Those guy's know their stuff.

I have used steel tubing I cut down to make really thick washers to hold the bracket out far enough.
