3rd gen LS1 AC Brackets I was wondering what you guys think about using the 3rd gen AC compressor when swapping an LS1 into a 3rd gen. I found a kit from "fbody motorsports" but it is $300. But the same kit is on ebay starting at like $150.
Check it out:

It's nothing im planning any time soon, but i'm still looking. Is it a good idea to use the 3rd gen ac compressor, or reuse the LS1 stock one..but the lines are not the same.
Thanks!

if i remember right though, jay was saying they had problems with them throwing belts on our cars (daniels's i think it was too). So i opted not to have my A/C put in unless i hear otherwise.

Throwing belts? Could be a misalignment or tensioner isue, i've never seen/had problems with any kind of serpentine setup. the brackets seem pretty stout so i doubt it would flex.

Big waste of money in my opinion. At first they did have issues with it throwing belts, but they figured it out. With the money I wasted i should have just bought a tubular Kmember and used the 4thgen setup, which is probably what i will do in a year or 2 and just sell the setup i have now. If you are set on keeping the 3rdgen compressor buy it from that ebay posting because fbodymotorsports is a joke. they took like 2-3 months to send my bracket out and was not worth $300 dollars in my opinion.

yeah man, i ordered parts from fbodymotorsports and took a good month for side markers, emblems, and just small random stuff. I was pissed, i considered buying a hood from them but the price is outrageous and the shipping takes forever.
AC would be very nice to keep, i don't think there is realy another option, to keep AC in the car.
