AC compressor mount
Ok guys, here goes. I think I finally figured out an AC compressor mount for the slant six. Mine is going in my A100 pickup so it HAS TO go low on driver’s side of the motor (no room on pass. side). For those in cars and “normal” pickups the alternator is on the passenger side. If you don’t have power steering this mount would locate like mine where the power steering pump would normally be. The compression is a Sanden 508 and it hangs out the side about 10” from the center of the water pump pulley. Anyone interested in templates for the mount please PM me. Just in case anyone wants to know, I’ve put electric power steering on my truck along with independent front suspension. My alternator will be moved up over the water pump from where it was (where the AC compressor is now!). Here’s a pic of the mounted compressor. There’s a bit more work to be done, but I’m confident it will work.
