Re: Replace old AC compressor with late model compressor

Here's a pic of some Alan Grove bracketry with a Sanden style compressor. This motor has headers and I didn't want to bolt any accessory brackets to the side of the block. The original AC system and bracketry was also long gone.

I used both Alan Grove AC brackets and power steering brackets.

The trickiest part was finding the correct length power steering belt to orient the fill cap where I wanted it once the belt was properly tensioned.
