Mounting An A/c Compressor To Headers - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I Know There Is Someone Who Has A Fix For This. My A/c Compressor
Was Originally Mounted To Two Exhaust Bolts On R/h Front.(with Ramhorn Manifold) I Beefed Up My Motor And Had To Go With Headers.i Dont Know If Using Spacers And Longer Bolts Will Be Strong Enough? What Has Everyone Done In This Case?

Most of the better header mfgs make the a/c brackets to use with headers.

I am adding vintage air right now myself. I am using ALAN GROVE bracket for the a c and going to have to modify it somewhat. The front header tube on the left side got in the way. I am cutting this bracket off using only the front header bolt and am going to weld a 90 degree piece to the head bolt holes on that side. I hope this makes sense. I have nothing bolting to that head at this time. I moved the alt. to the driver side for cleaner look.

I have an Alan Grove setup that I will sell you.
It doesn't mount on the header - so you don't have to worry about that interference.

It is the 100R seen here:

PM me if interested. It is brand new never used - still unopened hardware.
