Default AC bracket?

We're doing a LSX swap into a 1978 El Camino. Is there a bracket you g body guys are using to relocate the AC up top or are you notching the frame to keep the stock bracket? Any links, advice, help is greatly appreciated.

What I used was the Kwik bracket and a Sanden 508 compressor. You can find the bracket at www.kwikperf.com there are also some similar on ebay.

We have all the accessories. The above kit requires a different compressor. We'd liketo be able to use it if we can. My dad said he read somewhere that the 96-03 vortec s10 bracket will work but hasn't been able find that info again. I don't think it'll work due to the water pump. Not to mention having to drill holes to locate the bracket properly.
