Using older Harrison Brackets on a York writeup.
Welp, I got my York in the mail today and couldnt wait to get that puppy installed, but since I had no other options I had to modify my old brackets from a Harrison compressor (used on older TBI motors I believe) So I took some pics along the way and hopefully this will help some people with older V belt setups like mine who dont have tons of money to spend on kits.
Soooo... Here we go. First I went ahead and ripped off the old harrison compressor, I didnt take any pics along the way. Its pretty self explanitory. Here is a pic of the york and the bracket that came off the harrison. ![]() You can see it bolts up to the front flange of the york pretty easily, I just had to drill 2 holes over about 1/4 inch and goto the store to pick up longer bolts for it. (1/4 x 3/4" I believe) Heres a pic of the flange of the harrison, the flanges are quite similar. ![]() Here is a pic of the motor for reference to where the compressor will mount. ![]() The compressor should be mounted on its side, atleast thats how I did it for hood clearance reasons and bolt clearance also. There isnt much room for play in the belt that needs to be run, so be sure to pick up a smaller one rather than a larger. I used a 55.5 inch I believe. Here is a pic of the clearance between the bracket and bottom of the compressor. ![]() Here is the last pic of the compressor mounted... ![]() Thats all there really is to it. Its quite easy, gives the compressor a good position to easily fill oil and makes belt adjustments quite easy also. The only thing I may still do is brace it from the back. If I do I will update the post... feel free to post questions!

That install looks great. Thanks for the pictures!!
I could be wrong, but I thought you were supposed to mount them upright to keep oil out of your system. Are you using this for your A/C or for suspension? Let me know if it works well this way, it may be easier for me to mount mine if I can do it sideways.
