Default vintage air compressor bracket?

looking for pics and measurements of their bracket they sell that mounts the sanden 508 compressor in the stock location of the ls1 f-body on the bottom pass side of the motor. I would like to know if it moves it farther away from the block. here is the link. It gives me some dimension but my motor is apart so I cant measure the factory location. thanks

Somewhere on here was a build in an A body, I think it was "pistolpete", he has a blueprint for a mount you could probably use. Similar to the vintage mount, only better, closer to the block and moves the compresser forward to use the main belt. I modified it a bit and used it on mine, works fantastic. Just note, I used a corvette drive system.

I used the vintage air bracket on my conversion (98 LS1 F-body into a 56 Chevy) and it moved the compressor out less than 1/2 inch, you will need slightly bigger belt which is listed in the instructions.

That would be great. It looks like you only use the main drive belt though. Can you use the original belt for the ac or does the pump stick out too far forward
