power steering is not issue. A/C options suck.

I used the Sanden 508 with the Alan Grove block hugger compressor.
Part number 144R A.C.. I had to notch the frame, but it worked great! I have an LSA with twin turbos. A high mount compressor was not an option.

Not hating, but post some pictures.

I'm not interested in up-high or notch-city.

During the mock up, we notched the fame and used the pye-r foam block. You can see the Alan grove compressor bracket.

Stock truck accessory drive including the low mount a/c compressor clears everything with spohn swap mounts.

The spohn mounts work good but for some reason the left side (drivers side) mount isn't lining up. I'll be running truck accessories.

Not sure what the deal is with the drivers side but it don't line up for ****! I don't know if they're supposed to line up like this but i wouldn't think so. I've seen a couple pictures of the Spohn mounts but they are always the passengers side and never the drivers side.

James for the holley bracket you need an alternator from a truck that had a 5.3, and you need a 02-05 corvette power steering pump, the aluminum one.
