AC Compressor for LS

I have an old air Hurrican AC unit in my truck and my blower motor went out recently but up until then, my ac has been working well and once the blower is replaced I expect it will work well again.

Is that the 10S17F or the 10S20F?

Thanks!!

Cool. I grabbed a 10S20F unit from a wrecked 2005 Tahoe with rear air. Had fun modifying the Hooker engine mounts to clear it. Their instructions said "minor trimming", what a joke. I had to punch a 3/4" hole in the Hooker mount to clear the compressor, along with cutting the rear off the stock compressor bracket.

Already bought the AC adapters for the compressor.

Now I just gotta get the fittings and hoses to go from the compressor to the condenser and to the accumulator.

No pics, but there is a rear knob on the compressor that hits the Hooker mount. A step bit was needed to make a 3/4" hole to clear the compressor.

Which mounts are you refering to. I had called and spoke to Holley about their Hooker Blackheart LS swap mounts for 67-72 (PN BHS511) and was told it would work with the stock LS compressor. Now you have me second guessing that. Love to get this working and mounted low out of the way like you did. Where was the hole in the mount needed? I am trying to understand where the compressor is hitting. If I understood your precious post you ground the knob down, if ao what is still hitting?

My donor is a 2005 GMC Yukon XL so I am hoping I am lucky and have the 10S20F on it (haven't pulled the motor yet) and I can run it with a Vintage Air system.

I can confirm that the latest Hooker Blackheart engine stands when used in combination with their F body style engine mounts clear the ac bracket and compressor without modifications.
