As far as brackets, Hot Rod Bill's out of CA has a great non-serpentine setup that's available in three different finishes. I have used these on customer's cars and they fit perfect!
I agree on the sanden ,puts less strain on engine than other compressors , works great , compared to the pancake style compressors gm sells with their serpentine systems , those things take like 25 horsepower to run
