I need to mount an a/c compressor on the driver side of the engine. It doesn't matter what compressor, I'm open to what ever. Any ideas, links, etc are greatly appreciated. This is for Corvette spacing if at all possible.

I can't say I've ever seen one. Where is the alternator? maybe you can swap them around.

The alternator is high on driver side right now. It can be moved to the low position on the driver side very easily. I'm not opposed to installing the alternator on the passenger side either.

Alternator is normally on driver side, Why can't ac mount on passenger side up high?

I had the a/c on the pass side (Holley bracket and R4 compressor). The problem is width of the overall compressor and bracket causes it to hit the ABS module and the location of he turbo touches the compressor. This is in a BMW e39. The turbo fits on the passenger side without the a/c. I really want a/c...

Edit: LSbrackets.com has a bracket for the R4 compressor that is approx 2" tighter to the engine vs the Holley one. I'm going to buy it and hope it works!

For those who are interested, I never found a drivers side solution for the a/c compressor. Novak out of Utah made (no longer makes) a bracket that places the R4 compressor in a similar location to the Holley. I bought what was probably one of the last ones that they had and crossed my fingers. It's approx 1.5" narrower (engine centerline to max width of compressor). It clears my abs module, which was one of the issues I was having with the Holley. It didn't solve my issue in regard to making room for the turbo, so I moved it to the drivers side. A Toyota MR2 electric p/s pump will replace the belt driven GM pump. I was able to make enough room for everything, albeit in a different way than initially intended.
