Wasn't there someone on here offering a Sanden compressor bracket for the slant six a while back?

79/80 F Bodies and any MJ Bodies with a slant and AC uses a bracket that uses the Sanden style compressor. I bought a setup from Whitepunkonnitto when I was going to use a slant in my 65. I fitted a junk Sanden compressor and it fit just fine.
Yeah, but those are kinda hard to find. I have a totally COMPLETE bracket set for AC on a 73 Dart including every stinkin bracket that goes with it. Problem is, I don't want to use the RV compressor. Maybe I can modify the brackets I have to suit the Sanden unit.

Search the long post about AC compressor options for a slant. I haven't seen anyone leverage RV2 brackets. Since my 64 Valiant doesn't have power steering, I used that mounting pad for custom Sanden brackets. I started w/ universal ones and had to cut and weld. I also have Sanden brackets from a ~77 Volare which would also give me a Saginaw p.s. pump if I change to that later. Clearance is only ~1" to the battery. Likely more in a wider 1967+ car. But, narrower batteries are becoming common and cheap and may become even small Li ones soon.

Thanks Dave! Is that actually modified? Sure doesn't look like it. What'd you do to it?

i took the front brackets and idler set up from a 74 rv2 set up. laid the sanden in the right position and drilled new holes for the pump. then just made a brace out of flat stock for the rear of the pump. it works good with the original slant engine pulley. wish i hadn't let it go with the engine, i would of boxed the whole thing up and sent it to ya. i did keep the sanden pump, and its yours if it helps ya. just take care of the shipping.

Photos of my custom bracket. You can find many other slant Sanden brackets in the post of a few years ago.
That's pretty cool, Bill! I like how that's down low.

They do, its $300+!! It puts the compressor up high, in the stock-ish location. I prefer Bill Grissom's idea.
