Another A/C compressor question.... Albeit a little different than most. I'm in the process of putting a 5.3L in my Jeep cCherokee and there isn't enough room for the stock A/C compressor. Noval conversions offers one that places a compressor high on the passenger side. Problem is, I need that spot for my onboard air compressor.
So has anyone found a smaller, more compact compressor that they've been able to mount in the stock GM location?
Anyone have a link that shows the physical dimensions of some of the smaller compressors that might work?
FWIW,
I'm in the HVAC biz, so I'm familiar with A/C systems, just not well versed in automotive compressor retrofits.

A place called Kwik Performance makes another kit for the AC (top passenger too) but they list the following as compressor options.
I don't know about their size, but it may be a starting point.
A Sanden air conditioner compressor, part number 4514 (SD5 series), 4522 (SD5 series),
4665 (SD7 series), or 9537 (508 series). In addition, because of the wide variety of Sanden
compressors, other part numbers with the same pulley placement will work. Contact Sanden
for other options.
