Right now my ps bracket is bolted to my exhaust manafold. I want to get some headers but never see a bracket for the ps pump. Can I just get a bracket that mounts it to the block?

ask the speed shop where you buy your headers im sure that either he sells a kit or could make you a bracket to work in your application

You can also add a longer bolt and a short piece of pipe to act as a spacer and be able to use the same bracket. Swervin and myself did this mod.

when i put the headers on my truck i did pretty much the same thing.....cut a piece of copper tubing laying around and made a spacer with that and re-used an exhaust manifold bolt.worked like a charm or if you have a non-ac equipped truck the bracket i had on my 78 which didnt have ac i just flipped it around i cant recall off the top of my head how it was done without looking at it but you can do it that way if you have a non-ac truck.

I put a set of Hooker competition headers on my 77 Bonanza and they came with the bracket, even with an AC pump bracket. So I had no prob's at all.
