Well, I was at the pick and pull and got excited when I seen a brand new compressor on a truck, it was obviously a low mount (which is what I wanted) so I grabbed the compressor and bracket, cleaned everything up, and it fits! Except I'm running 2009 corvette ACC drive, and the spacing is wrong, its in line with the rest of the accessories, not where it should be on the back of the crank pulley. Anyone got any tips or suggestions? Finding a bracket and compressor for a Corvette at junkyard is going to be zero chance, and I would like to not spend $500 plus on a new bracket and compressor from Holley if possible.
Do you have the room to space the rest of your accessory an inch and half forward? Go back and grab the crank pulley of the truck you got the ac setup and bolt it all together. See the attached pictures. I used the 2010 Camaro waterpump but Holley makes spacers so you can just space out what you have
.
I do not want to space all my brackets and change the pulley, I thought that the vette/f body ac compressor and bracket would work with the Holley brackets.
All I truly know is what worked for me, my LY6 came with the truck spacing with all of the accessories, the1.5 inch spacer allowed me to use the vet bracket/alt & PS pump with the truck AC compressor. You'll need to do a little reading, I believe there are three different spacing, corvette(0), F-Body(+3/4 of and inch), Truck/VVT (+1.5 inches). Good Luck

The Holley brackets I'm pretty sure work only with aftermarket compressors. There's no way a truck compressor is going to work on a Vette set up unless you fab up something. As far as I know, no one makes a bracket to relocate a factory compressor.
The low mounted AC is desirable in my opinion. You do have frame clearance and interaction with the other accessories to deal with.
67Skylark led you to the solution that requires a little work, but is probably the best option for serviceability and use of what you have. You are far from the first guy to want to run the short spacing, but the truck /VVT spacing works so well, you may want to reconsider and order the Holley spacer.
So here is a trick for this....... IF you buy a cadillac CTSV (1st gen) a/c compressor bracket and grind the **** out of it, you can use that to mount the truck compressor, on Corvette spacing. I seen someone on here do it and sell it. I copied his setup. Mine is mounted, so pics from mine is useless. I can see if I can find his pics somewhere for you, but its really, very straight forward. I also, used a friends laser belt alignment tool, and it lines up PERFECT, not close, PERFECT!
