Default Truck Manifold Kit?

I was thinking of building my own kit from the truck manifolds, but I would like to keep ac. I have heard of a few people that have kept it with these manifolds, and I would like to know how they did this and where it was placed. And pictures would be great.
Thanks

Ya I've read that several times, but through searching, I have heard that someone relocated it. I was just trying to see if they would chime in and tell us all how they did it.

i made a crappy bracket once to fit the stock compressor on the driver side head, but i didnt like to the belt routing was kind of sloppy. so i never finished it.
i havve another plan on a different location, but havent had a chance yet to work it out
also gmr was working on something similar, but i think their fabber changed professions so they didnt get it finished (ask gmr for the 100% accurate story) but it looked like they had a few things to work past with the belt routing also.

Anything can be done with enough effort. Best bet would be drivers head like mentioned or if you can turn the compressor around to where the main body of it is facing the radiator, but you'd have to find a point in the belt system that would still spin the compressor in the right direction still. Don't know if that makes any sense or not.


Relocating the alt and ac are the 1st things I'm going to do before I even think about doing the rest of the fab.
