factory air with a 5.3 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Has anybody on here done an ls swap and hooked up factory air? I put a 5.3 truck motor in my 86 and it has factory air and should be pretty easy to do but the compressor doesnt clear the frame so i'll have to get the brack to relocate it up high but im not sure about hooking the aftermarket compressor that works with my bracket to the factory stuff on the truck

Look in the LS swap section for plenty of info from the guys that have done the LS swap.
