1970-Cloned

Still working on the final mock up before I cut the frame.

I have the headers mocked up and now see that it may be very difficult to get the AC lines into the AC compressor even if I do get it mounted up in the stock location with the notched frame.

I would really appreciate pictures of how you did it. My AC lines come straight out the back of the unit. I do have an corvette pulley setup on my LS2.

Thanks much

I would greatly appreciate the photos of the notching of the frames that you did in the past.

Also could we see some pictures of the Sanderson Compressor with brackets and pulley. Also what is the cost on this setup. Thanks

I am using BRP style with relocated frame mounts. My compressors manifold exits the rear.. I took the stock LS1 Manifold to my Tubing shop and had him cut the lines/hoes and crimp the stock A-Body end on and connected them up. I don't have any pictures, but I can take some tonight and post for you so that you can get a idea of what your trying to fab up.

This is using our aftermarket accessory drive that we offer.... I am confident a stock compressor will fit..... This is also with our standard mounts......

Here is some pics of the AC adapter brackets it lets you use the OEM accessories and just uses the existing mounting holes. I also have the lower bracket not shown, I just can find the install pics but ill keep looking here is what it looks like on the car its on a LS1 with stock F-body accessories and will work on the GTO style as well. Ill can have them shipped to your door for $95. Just cut off the two casting tabs that you do not use and it slides right in with the GM accessories.

Thanks very much for taking the pictures of your AC compressor. It helped me to go ahead and cut the frame. I made sure to cut way more than enough so that I have options of running the AC compressor lines.

BTW, how do you like your Hotckis A-Arms and suspension?

Was it worth the money?

I am using the B-Body spindle conversion also.. This is what I have found out after doing my conversion with the Hotchkis setup..

With the B-Body Spindles and the 1"-1 1/2" lower springs (Hotchkis) and the weight of the LS1.. It didn't lower the car any ! LOL.. if you look at my pictures. it is just about stock height now.. so.. I am going to cut the script 1/2 coil.

It does corner very flat and feel like it is very stable. Even with the bit of Bump Steer due to the B-Body Steering arm location.

Even with the better suspension setup.. I feel that I still need to go to a quicker steering box (12 or 14:1) to get a better steering response.

keep posting your project status..
