It also interferes with the stock Monte motor mounts in stock location. Move them back you say.... Then headers dont fit. UGH.

This may not do it afterall. I dont think the AC grooves will fit between the SC belt location & the regular accessory belt. Maybe could move the SC pulley out .5", & have a new pulley made for the supercharger....... UGH. Or maybe just do without it, or go with something from LSX Concepts. Or do without AC, in VA? nah.

I have compared the truck compressor to the SD7 & it is longer than the SD7, making condition worse.
My understanding is the truck comp. sits highest and furthest forward, making some possible problems, not problems.
This documents / has pics of fitment of a specific truck comp. model without rear facing switch fitting using truck spacing with Spohn mounts. I am just in parts gathering mode, but that suits my wants: no frame notching, Low AC that isn't flying high like a teapot spout.

The supercharger requires the use of the Vette accessory spacing, which also pushes the AC compressor back. If I wasn't trying to add the SC, that would be an option, or keep the high mount Holley bracket. :-) Thanks.

Comparison, Corvette left, LSA middle, truck right.
