Default New A/c Bracket option

Just saw this on the holley website, forgive me if this has already been posted, but I thought it looked like a nice option for high mount AC that has an OE look... Couldn't find it for sale anywhere, so who knows how much they will want for it, or when it will be available...

Anyway, here's the link:

they also make a high mount Alternator bracket... not sure exactly when you would use that, as I would think hood clearance would be an issue:

I like that actually. Thanks for posting this! I wonder if it'll help the turbo guys who want to keep their A/C

Thanks for the heads up. I'll be keeping my eye out for the Sanden version

Boy that is nice. Some good info in their installation guides. The alternator mount looks just like the vette to me, but their kit will support any belt spacing. They have a good guide what works with what too.

I put the holley part number into jegs. The AC bracket kit $130 and the alternator bracket number came up blank on both jegs and summit. Must be too new.

what compressor is that? Looks like a delco which I think mkaes them for GM. Will that work with a vintage or classic air system?

Looks like the old 80's early 90's R4 compressor.

Looks like it was inspired by the S-10 a/c bracket swap. It looks like a stout piece but a lot of the OEM R4 brackets had a support brace or two off the back of the compressor to the block or head for additional rigidity.

The 21-3 "installation kit" is another $100 didn't see prices for the 21-1 or 21-2 kits.

Not knocking it, nice to have a OEM appearing bolt-on bracket option.

Looks good but not so affordable once you add on the installation kit. Still, good to see more options coming out. I'm thinking about getting the dirty dingo version to replace my kwik stuff.

I worked on the home made version of the high mount today.

looks like that may fit low on the passenger side with some home made brackets. I was looking for something smaller than the 508 or 7 which hit my subframe on my 71 camaro
