kwik performance A/C bracket....feedback has anyone used the kwik performance a/c compressor bracket that mounts up high on the passenger side? any feedback, nice setup or not worth it? Or has anyone used the Turn Key Engine Supply setup?
i think the bracket is great, i have it on my 68 with a 2006 ls2 and ive had no problems with it at all. worth every penny. ive put more then 20 thousands miles on my motor in the last 2 years and still havent had a problem. if you would like pictures of mine ask and i will get you.
Well, I don't have their A/C bracket, but I've seen their stuff up-close-&-personal, & I'd say it's worth it - I'm giving serious thought to it, since trying to re-engineer that stuff myself would take FREAKING HOURS that I don't want to have to deal with...
I'd say that it just depends on what it's worth to you...

Sorry 55 Chev, I just saw your post.
Yeah, unfortunately, the fuel rail covers are going to need to be trimmed. I'm using the f-body/GTO accessories and have the GTO covers. I was a little bummed but I don't think it's that big of an issue.

If I purchased the brackety, I wanted to try and re-use my f-body pump to save $149, but I don't think that is possible.
I got a F-body motorsports AC retrofit for mine, it's designed for the third generation compressor. Mounts in the same spot - I'm going to adapt that compresssor to my AC system.
These things list for almost $300 and I got it for $150 shipped from a TGO.org member who never installed it...new in the box.
I'll take pics when I get alll my bracketry sorted out

this is not bracket related but since you guys already done the a/c and with appologies for 
... I just bought the kiwkper. bracket and have dual elec. fans with the low and high wired, I am trying to do the a/c now, but do I have to add another relay for a fan to come on when the a/c is on? if so where do you get the trigger signal from? because it has to come on and off right? or do I just install and leave the low and high as they are now
alll this is going on in a 84 chevy pu with a trucks 5.3

To answer 1976CamaroGuy's question about Type II power steering pumps that will work with the KwikPerf brackets, ask your auto parts guy for a pump for a Cavalier or Beretta from about 1990 to 94. Those have a 3/4" shaft and usually sell for less than other similar pumps. You'll need a hose barb to press in where the plastic reservoir used to be and then rig up a new remote reservoir. The smallest diameter pulley would be from an 04-06 5.3 Chevy Trailblazer. Or, you can also re-use the pump that came with your F-body engine by converting it to a remote reservoir.
