I have a 5.3L engine & I switched the truck accessories out for the f-body accessories on front on the engine. I have the truck compressor but it will stick out too far with truck A/C bracket. What I need to know is are both compressors the same on a 5.3/5.7? Can I use a f body compressor mounting bracket & the truck compressor or will I have to get the compressor from the f-body also?

I don't want to buy the f body compressor if I do not need it

I know the f body compressors are variable displacement. I'm not entirely sure which truck compressors are variable and which are fixed. What AC system are you using it with?

all the truck compressors I have seen are very different mounting and the a/c line mounting as well

You will have to use an fbody bracket, compressor and lines since your other accessories are fbody. Then adapt the new lines to your old ones.

I am pretty sure there are different compressors mounting lugs and points on Trucks vs. F-body.. I once picked up a Compressor for my F-Body accessories.. and it would not bolt up to the F-Body Bracket.

They are different and do not interchange.

BTW, I have an F-body compressor, bracket assembly (tensioner + pullies), mounting hardware, and Doc's Blocks connection interface that I am about to take off my car. PM me if interested.

I'm working through a similar issue. I have an LS6 going in a truck. I can't use the vette compressor/bracket and have to use a truck comp/bracket. Totally different mounting set ups. What year is your truck compressor? I'm looking for an '02 because it has a high pressure switch built in the compressor and the 04' vette compressor I have doesn't have the switch built in. Let me know if you are interested in a swap.
