Please help with Burb A/C

72 K20 with front and rear A/C.
New 350 engine with Edelbrock intake so there now is no threaded hole to mount the stock bracket and compressor.
1. Is there a bracket out there that will allow me to use the stock compressor?
2. Should I just be going to a new more efficient compressor, and if so, which compressor and bracket?
Thanks for any and all ideas.

There must be a bracket out there that did not bolt to the cylinder head. The early small blocks had A/C. Look up early corvettes or Chevelle's for brackets.

I was trying to remember what the stock brackets looked like. Found this pic:



It doesn't appear that any of these mounting points actually mount to the manifold

Bill I talked to Orval in Los Lunas he said you might find a bracket to fit your stock compressor from Southern Rods that you could mount to the front of the engine. He said he buys all his aftermarket ac stuff for his trucks from there.
