A/C brackets for 6cyl

I am thinking about installing a 292 inplace of the 350 in my truck, but this thing has add-on A/C and I would like to keep it. Anyone know where toget the right brackets? Thanks

Re: A/C brackets for 6cyl

A/C was available as an option on the L-6. Ebay occasionally will have bracket sets. The integral head long compressor ones are somewhat common, I've only seen 1 set for 292's in the last year.

It takes aonther groove in the crank pulley and water pump pulley, especially if you have Power Steering.

If your 292 is non-integral head, you may be best off fabricating your own brackets, since the 250 brackets aren't long enough.

If your compressor is non-GM (like a Sandeen) then you'll need custom brakets anyway as I haven't found a bolt-on bracket set. The compressor goes on the RH up high, the bracket bolts to the head and to the bolck at the accessory bolts jsut bhind the timing cover.

Re: A/C brackets for 6cyl

There's a 250 on Ebay that has aftermarket AC pump set up on it. You can see some of how the brackets are hung in the pictures. This won't bolt onto a 292 directly but you can get the idea.. the hardest part of fabbing these brackets is getting the pulley positioned front to back and square to the crank.
