Default Looking for a low mount AC bracket that is inline with other accessories

Is there an AC bracket for an SD7 compressor that puts the pulley in line with the rest of the Vette accessories. I need one that pushes the compressor forward to remove or reduce the amount of notch required on engine crossmember.

Does one exist?
Thanks

Are you talking about leaving the compressor in the stock position (pass lower) or mounting it up pass high side (like the Holley bracket)?

Kwik makes a bracket ,not sure if it is on there site yet but someone on here has a pic of it , I bought one for a 67 impala and it fits nice .It uses the small belt for the ac only and comes with its own tensioner, I'll look for the thread What is it going on ? JOHN

You could use the low mount truck compressor without a notch. Use holley's 21-3 accessory installation kit to space out the corvette accessories to a truck accessory alignment.

I have vette accessories, and want to keep them, in stock location. And mount the AC compressor low on passenger side so it is in line with the rest of the vette accessories.

Be aware he's talking about the Sanden SD7 compressor...Some mounts use the 508...Different size compressor. The SD7 has a hi perf model, and removable port manifolds, that can be changed.

Unless I am missing something, your build says you are using the holley vette style bracket but with truck spacing, that puts the AC belt farther out than true vette spacing would. So I would still need to notch front crossmember. I need to keep Vette belt where it is, so I can add LSA supercharger in front of it.

The Dirty dingo kit works off the back rib set so it's not what you are looking for.

If it clears using the back groves, then I can use it. But I don't think it will without notching front crossmember/motor mounts.

It has multiple spacing setups on it by simply using different mounting holes so you might be able to space it out to the front.

With the sd7 and dirty dingo bracket there should be plenty of room with corvette spacing . The compresser is tiny
