Default LQ4 A/C Compressor Fitment Question

I have a 71 LeMans that I am putting a LQ4 out of an 05 truck. I'm using these adapter mounts:


My question is will the factory A/C compressor fit with these mounts? I've just spent the last hour searching and can't find any information on it.

Any help will be very much appreciated.

I don't think it will fit without knotching the cross member.

The crossmember is not a issue.

You need to notch and trim the AC bracket a little to clear the addapter plate. Then move the motor mount back on the addapter. The stands on the crossmember will need to be moved to locate the engine and line up with the new position of the mounts.

We did this on dads chevelle 2 years ago with no problems.

Thanks for the quick response!
Also, does anyone know where to get the fittings for the A/C so I can get the lines custom fitted and pressed onto new lines?
