Default Abody accessories for A/C?

I've finally got my L92 and sourced a F-body T-56 for my 1970 GTO conversion. The car was originally an A/C car.

If I wan't to maintain A/C which accessories will work the best? Can I just use the truck accessory setup (even the ugly alternator position) and not have to cut the crossmember?

One of my hesitations is that I may end up going with a TVS or whipple blower and I need to plan what accessories I'm using for belt routing.

Thanks.

I have the same setup with a Magnacharger and the truck accessory brackets. Truck AC fits, had to slightly modify the AC bracket.

Great! Which motor mounts and headers did you use? Is that a 112 blower? I'd like to know more about your motor/blower and how much power your making. Thanks.
