Check the link in my sig about mounting an a/c compressor to these engines.
I have the bracket just have not done it yet. Looks pretty easy and it puts it in a better location keeping you from having to notch the cross member.

The original frame stands put the engine too far forward and my power steering pump wouldn't fit. I ended up using some after market stands and cutting them down to fit. Had to move the engine back about 3"s. I was able to get everything to work except for the stock AC pump which was on the lower passenger side. They make a bracket to raise it so that won't be a problem.
Got the oil pan to sit level with the cross member.
I still need to get the cab back into position. I need to modify my firewall now that the engine is farther back than expected.
I still need to do the final welding on it all but it was a good day over all.
Here's a few pics to show what I ended up doing.
