Default Fox Mustang/ LS1/ Air conditioning sway bar fitment?

Just wondering who has done a fox LS swap with air in the factory spot and if they figured out anything good for the sway bar? Factory one hits the compressor, maybe an aftermarket out there that turns downward sooner as the bracket is very near the compressor.

Just add some spacers between the bar and mount.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. He has measurements. So once I get the motor in I can check.

Hello guys

I just wanted to let you know this only looks wide. This bracket kit is no wider than the factory Corvette accessory drive.

Way cheaper than most kits to.

I can answer any questions you have just give me a call.

I believe to use the F-body style A/C bracket, you make a 3/4" spacer to lower the swaybar down. Although I'm not installing the A/C at this time on my swap, I do plan on spacing the swaybar down 3/4" so that I don't have to do later when I do put the A/C on the car.
