Re: Stock air conditioning with LS swap

I know this is an old thread but I don't want to make another thread since this is already on the topic. IBread through this and noticed everyone here was talking about using as much of the factory 67-72 AC boxes with the factory EFI LS motor and original compressors to the LS series motor. But for me I'm not running the stock/factory Intake and fuel injection or computer, I have a 67 with factory AC and At first I will run my engine carburated, (yes I know it's quite possibly the stupidest thing to do to an engine which is already fuel injected) I'm looking to find out how to hook up the factory AC of the 67, to the my 2002 5.3 from a silverado. I'm open to switching evaporators/condensor/reciver dryer to other units as long as they fit in the evaporator box and on the radiator support with little modifications, I would like to run 134a instead of r-12 and I know as of 1990 you need a low and high pressure switch so the system does not vent refrigeration out. Im also willing to getting a different AC compressor and bracket if there is one that can be used better or easier with the 67 then the one I currently have. I'm having some problems fitting the AC compressor bracket to the block with my motor mount plates as they stick out further forward, I was thinking about clearencing the bracket but I don't want to structurally compromise the bracket, what are your guys thoughts? I suppose there is the high mount AC option as well, but I do like how the compressor is tucked in out of the way with the low mount.
