Default GBody low mount AC compessor bracket

Hello all another question for the Gbody crowd. Has anybody done this with out notching the frame mount the AC compressor low on the passenger side using the Car Shop adapter plates? I read in an old tread that the GTO accessory bracket with the Fbody compressor will clear. Any advise or pictures please post up. I was looking at an 88 Cutlass Brougham today with 23,000 original miles on it driven by a little 88 year old woman form Pasadena only to church on Sundays. The car is dying for some 16 o 17 inch rolling stock, Bilsteins and Eibach's and a new heart transplant. Thanks in advance for your comments.

I did the LS conversion, but used the spohn & Fbody engine mounts and Alan Groves mount with Sanden compressor.

The corvette one is not listed. I however had to notch. Turned out nice though.

The truck compressor fits without notching.

That actually depends on the fore/aft position of your engine wthin the chassis. Some mounts will provide a forward enough position and some will not.
