Hey Boatpuller how about some pictures of the engine compartment? I'd like to see how things mount up under the hood. Thanks!

here is mine. I had it installed at the body shop while it was apart after the wreckI was involved in last year. I helped with it some. it really was pretty strait forward, instruction were easy to follow. works & looks great.

Why did they install the compressor on the left hand side? On the right the lines would be shorter and not cross over the engine.

than I would have had to buy new alternater brkts(already had these). Also, the sure fit kit for this truck mounts the compressor on the drivers side, if it were mounted on the pass. side, I would have to toss the lines that come with the system & make all new lines

you have to get new brackets to mount compressor on passenger side.you shouldn't have to toss lines.mine came with only one end attached.then you cut the hose to the length you want and get the fittings for the other end crimped to fit.stepside 454 your engine compartment turned out very nice.ble burban i think what your asking with compressor and belt system would be doable.just call em they'll make you a system.that digital controller wouldn't work with my system.everything is cable activated like the stock setup.i'll post a pic of my system later today.....i gota go build a fence.

Thanks Boat. Im pleased with it. If you mounted the compressor on the pass. side, the line they give you coming out of the driver side of the radiator support going to the compressor from the condensor coil would have to be modified to go back over to the passenger side. John
