I also recently bought the Dirty Dingo adapter plates, not the sliders, and they also have a low mount AC bracket with a Sanden compressor.
Steve, I've heard the ECE mounts move the engine too far forward to use the stock engine fan. Any ideas if it will or not? Also, are you using manifolds or headers?
Thanks for any info.

The stock A/C compressor fitting is "iffy" in my opinion. It may fit, but it will be tight. I had just planned on using a Holley mount or similar. I don't believe stock fan will have any trouble fitting, my engine doesn't appear to be any farther forward than my 350 was. I will take a couple of pics for you when I can. I am using the Speed Engineering mid length headers and they fit great. I started a thread about these headers and got lots of pics from folks.
