A/C bracket and headers - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BLUE THUNDER · 05-12-2008, 04:23 PM

I'm sure someone out there has the answer. I ordered a pair of Headman headers for Ol yeller. I looked at the factory a/c bracket and realized its not gonna fit. Ithere an aftermarket bracket specifically designed for use with headers, or am I gonna have to grind the origional one to fit? BTW, the bracket i'm talking about is bolted to rt side exhaust manifold. Thanks, Mario.

I'd custom fab ya bracket if it were me, it is under the compressor and
out of sight anyways so who will see it? (BTW - I have the same issue)

You can also make your own from some 1/2 inch pipe. It moves the bracket out far enough so you only have to grind a little off of the factory bracket. Just cut two short pieces of pipe to square the bracket to the engine.

I have one of the aftermarket brackets, I also have an original bracket that has been modified to fit headers. I will take some pictures today and post it so you can see what you are looking for..

anyone know where the factory AC bracket bolts up to the block on the pass side of S/B 350 in 69 GMC P/U?

Sorry it took me a day longer than I said to post
I Finally found the modified factory bracket among my stuff..
The first picture & second is the aftermarket lower rear AC bracket for use with headers,
The thrid is a factory bracket modified crudly to use headers and the lower is what is supposed to look like,
