67 air condition compressor location - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

easyrider · 03-29-2009, 12:31 AM

I have a 1967 CST fleetside with a 327 engine and factory a/c. The engine casting numbers say that it is the right engine, but the heads have been changed to ones with the accessory mounting holes type. My problem is that I can't find a photo of the engine on an orginial factory air set up on a 67, so I don't know for sure, but I think my compressor is mounted on the wrong side. It is mounted on the drivers side like on the 72. I think it should be on the passengers side. Anyone have a photo of the factory stock location of the compressor on the 67? I think the a/c was mounted to the side it was on with these heads. I'm confused. Can any one settle what is factory correct for me? Thanks in advance for the help.

No pic, but I'm pretty sure all the factory V8 a/c setups had the compressor on the passenger side.

If that is the case...

Search the parts board, there's usually someone parting one out.

To be correct you`d need the pre-69 heads and brackets.Doesn`t anyone have pictures?That`s what he wanted.Sorry,I don`t have any pics.

I have a thread on parts board, 68 chevy with a 327. There is a pic of where a original 67-68 compressor mounts in the thread on the motor pic. Thanks Randy
