Default Which A/C bracket for 69 Camaro and LQ4?

Just curious about suggestions on which A/C compressor bracket and configuration everybody is using with their turbo setup. I got the Quick top mount bracket from vintage air and the problem is the stock exhaust manifold or the shorty header when it is mounted upside down will not clear the compressor. I can run the drivers side header facing down and forward on the passenger side and it would clear running below the compressor. Problem is running the passenger side manifold facing forward on the drivers side it won't clear the power steering pump. Any suggestions and installation pics would be appreciated .

So nobody has run this type setup? I guess I'll have to figure it out on my own......

Are you using a C6 exhaust manifold on the Passenger side? If not that might be your solution.

Right now I have the truck exhaust and a pair of stainless shorty headers. I just heard yesterday that the corvette manifolds might work. I will check it out and post my results.

I can confirm on a Fbody you can use the C6 manifold and retain the AC in the stock Fbody location which may work on your Camaro.

There are so many variables to your scenario. I ran a drivers side manifold on the drivers side up and forward. I am working on a bracket to adapt to the truck bracket to convert to a type II PSP that will tuck up away from the crossmember so one could run a manifold down and forward on both sides.

Also, pictures are good.
