I was looking at buying this bracket to put on 6.0 that I am building now for my 89 c1500 and just saw you have to buy a spacer kit also that makes the bracket not so cheap anymore. Do you actually need spacer kit or can you make your own?

FYI bracket I ordered was from LS brackets, guy supplied spacers and al the hardware, he sells 3 diff kits depending on what motor, crank pully you have. I havent run it yet,but it all lines up fine first time with the truck motor

I did almost same thing to my 1977 C3 Corvette except I used Kwik Performance a/c bracket so that I could us new style Sanden Compressor. I did use 02 Camaro condenser with stock corvette accumulator and heater. I used custom lines (half camaro / half c3 corvette). I am using high pressure switch (port welded as well) and also sending a/c request signal to PCM in order to increase idle before a/c clicks on. I kept stock corvette HVAC controls.
