a/c compressor brackets with headers? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Thought of this after the fact I already installed headers but will the factory a/c brackets still bolt? Looks like I may need to build some spacers or does someone out there make a special bracket like they do for alternators. Thanks

Most of the header mfg's make an a/c bracket. I have one on my truck.

A lot of people in the past have also notched the original bracket to fit, but I hate to see someone cut one up. Trevor

I clearanced mine with a grinder with no problems at all, didn't bother me since the engine bay is not stock.
