Default Recommendations Drive Accessory Truck

Hey all.

Who has recommendations for AC and/or PS pump relocation brackets for Vortec Lq4. I'd ideally like to keep my fixed displacement truck AC compressor (as its a good compressor) but most of relocation brackets I've seen seem to be more geared to Sanden etc.
Who did you use and like.

I can make it all fit within the frames - but its tight on lines ..........so just weighing up

1) Relocate to TOP

2) Buy an AC crimp line tool and make some custom lines.

3) Other.


This seems to be the best kit I can find .......... but requires new AC compressor and I cant really quite work out what its doing to the Alternator etc except lowering it just a little which I dont think I need. My issue on drivers side is mainly the PS lines and the Oil Cooler lines interfering with the rack and pinion shaft. At least its very tight.

Call up LSSimple. He has a lot of bracket setups for just about anything. We used his setup with a sanden compressor on a ls2 swapped 71 impala. Kit come with all new brackets, bolts, pulleys, ac compressor, and belts. Pretty good deal for the money!!

Thanks -- had mainly been looking at KWIK and Holley.

Do you know if they have a PS relocation for truck spacing ......... I see AC and Alt .... but not PS on their website.

Sort of like this one - but doesnt look like the PS pump moved just the AC and ALT.

Holley's parts space all accessories properly. They won't leave one out.
