Small block A/C bracket Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

old gearhead · 08-27-2005, 12:07 AM

Hello all!! I am trying to get all my ducks in a row for the never-ending project I have created w/ my '69 CST. All my biggest problems stem from the fact that I got this great truck when I was 16 and I would have rather have had a Trans-Am. So here I am now trying to redo what I screwed up in my younger wilder days(and I'm probably still here with my license and insurance 'cause I didn't get that T/A.) The problem I'm tackling right now is trying to track down the brackets that held the back of the A/C compressor on the intake and on the top of the compressor. I had put headers on at one time and cobbled something up to make due. Now I want to make it right and I might have the brackets, I just don't know what they look like, I can't find any engine compartment pics that show it clearly enough to see. Please help!!

I will try and get a pic of the brackets required......Someone might want to save this one.... Seems to be quite a few requests for pics of A/C brackets.

Thanks for the post but I have those brackets in place. What's not pictured is the bracket that bolts to the intake, then has an offset adjustment arm that goes to the top rear part of the A/C compressor. Some of the catalogs show the adjustment arm, but not the intake bracket.

The only place I've found so far that has this bracket!

I so know what you mean. I did the same thing except for i wanted the truck to beat my friends trans-am and cobbled it together. As for the question at hand not sure. Just glad to see I'm not the only on in this boat.

Sorry, I've been away awhile and the truck got pushed to the back burner!! Yes JDL that is the one, I am digging through all my accumulated parts from donor vehicles and tryink to see what I have. So far I am missing all three top brackets.
