Default lt1 to ls1 a/c components 4th gen Fbody only

i have a 94 lt1 car that I swapped to ls1. I'm at the point of getting A/C back in the car and before I go down the standard path of compressor in stock location, and since I need everything anyway, I was debating one of the relocation bracket options and a r/4 compressor or a sanden up top.

Primary reason is to leave room for a turbo downpipe exit without needing a new KMEMBER.

Found two so far that need to do more measuring, curious if anyone else has considered this approach.

This kit is 14" on center, which is exactly the space on a fbody today. so not a lot of room, and would interfere I suspect.

Also another option from Kwik... May need to get a 2010 harmonic and 2010 camaro wp, but not the end of hte world to get it up and leave the room below.

I know Holley has a nice passenger side R4 bracket as well. I'm not sure how far out they stick out though.

good call on checking Holley. it's 16 1/4, so will not fit. http://documents.holley.com/199r10606rev7.pdf

What I am finding is the r4 will probably fit, but will need to run ls3/truck spacing to make it work. that allows the r4 to fit between cylinder head and stays nice and compact.
