Default Searching for AC brackets LS1/Vette Acc

As stated in the title I am using a LS1 and accessories from a Corvette. I am also using 1" setback adapter plates. I would like to mount the AC compressor in the stock location. I would also like to use a Sanden 508 if possible, if not then a SD7. Does anybody make a bracket for my application?

Thanks for you input.

Couple possibilities. First bracket is available through Vintage Air for either f body or corvette (page 61).

Thank you for the links.

I forgot to mention that I only have 14" of clearance from the crank centerline. Also I am unable to reuse the factory brackets as they run into my motor mount with the 1" setback.

FYI - I am using S&P brackets for the LS2 install in a 69 Camaro and with a little trimming off the adapter plates and the corvette a/c bracket I was able to bolt it in place. Without notching the frame I will have to use an SD7 compressor.

T,
Well poo. If it will not fit in your stock metal there is no way it will fit my narrowed TCI setup. You know how us kids are until it hurts and then some more. I will figure out something. makes my head hurt.

Thanks Tom,
