Default Any 70-72 Chevelles Turbo Charged with AC?

I have a 1970 Chevelle I have swapped in a LQ4 w/ LS2 front drive accessories.

I bought an AC compressor bracket (stock location) thinking it would fit on the stock location... turns out, the motor mounts prevent the bracket/ac compressor from fitting.

So I will have to use the aftermarket AC compressor kit, which re-locates the compressor to the top passenger side of the engine.

Anyone out there have the ac compressor located here and running turbo(s)????

Or is there a way to make an AC compressor fit in the stock location (bottom passenger side)

I'm pretty sure you have to notch the frame to put the ac down low on the passenger side. Check out the new Holley mounts. They are designed to clear the ac, but you still have to notch the frame.

Kwik is making a bracket for a sanden mini compressor sd-7 model 7176 . mounts it low using its own belt and tensioner . I think the part # is k-10355 not listed on the site yet , I just test fitted it on my friends 67 impala , borrowed from someone putting it on a 72 chevelle . I think theres pics of it somewhere on here , maybe the thread showing all the lsa stuff , JOHN
