ls a/c block questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 5.3 in my 78 cc that i need to get the a/c working on. I had planned on getting the adapter fittings for the stock compressor from Docs blocks, but they are out of stock on one of them and said they will not order any more.
Does anyone else offer them?

nobody as far as I know, have you thought about a high mount AC?

there is one by Kwikperformance that puts the A4 ( i think) compressor on the PS side high mount

That might be a sanden 505d possibly

Or you can do like I did, Had a local shop make some for me. They used the factory LSX ends and made the rest... Cost me less than a $100 to do it all.

I wonder if this will work. I know the outlets on the truck compressor are on the top, if the nut on the low sidr fitting will clear the compressor i think it will work.
