Does anyone know about the bracket above it says Corvette and then Camaro.

I'd like a low mount brack using a sanden and on the same pulley as the factory compressor but with Vette pulleys.

My compressor fit with no mods to the crossmember (71 Chevelle), it is from a 2008 silverado 2500

And I'm using an Fbody pan.

^^ thanks for th pics. did you make the brackets?

Here is what I am dealing with. Use to have the compressor up but that made the belt the length of the great mississippi river and belt slip was uncontrolable:

with this set up I have zero belt slip and godd wrap:

I have all this room so looking to mount it low, either with a bracket like the one above or to the front subframe in front of the radiator:

Being an A-body guy that is enouraging, nice looking setup.

Which brackets are you ruinning F-body/GTO or CTS-V?

I bought the mounts from eBay and modified them so the frame mounts moved back almost 1.5 inches.
