Need direction on mounting large A6 a/c compressor
I need someone to point me in the right direction on a a/c compressor mount. I just bought this 72 with factory air. It also has the old compressor. The PO said the a/c was working until he put a different engine with taller valve covers.
Now the compressor is just laying over to the side and I need to find a mount for it. The small block engine has a short water pump and the alumiumn heads has the threaded holes in them for a bracket. I hate to start ordering brackets only to find out they will not work. Any recomendations without spending a lot of money on a complete system? I don't mind getting a smaller compressor if need be. But I had rather use this factory style one I have. |

Re: Need direction on mounting large A6 a/c compressor
It looks like the brackets are on your compressor to the head. You will need to order one for the back bottom for headers.

Re: Need direction on mounting large A6 a/c compressor
There is one bracket that passes very close across the valve cover and won't work with the tall covers. Other that a custom bracket, you may need to change them.

Notsolow, Do you think that bracket would clear my tall valve covers and could I make it fit the headers?

Re: Need direction on mounting large A6 a/c compressor
Brackets are only going to work with original valve covers, very close even so...you Might want to consider an Upgrade to a Sanden Compressor.
