The 'vette compressor and the f-body compressor are NOT the same, I can tell you this for a fact. They look identical untill you get them next to each other. The suction/discharge are in slightly different spots and the brackets are *slighty* different as well. I'm not sure about the pulley setup.

I know the Vette compressor has the suction and discharge on the side and the F-body is on the back but I want to know if the Vette compressor, mounted on the lower right side of the engine, uses a pulley on the top of the compressor mounting bracket (there is a boss and machining for one) and the tensioner pulley at the bottom of the mounting bracket or if it uses only the tensioner pulley. It will work either way. I'd just like some of you to look at your Vettes and tell me what you see.

There are two pulleys between the compressor and the crank, one is on a tensioner and the other is an idler. I may have a photo, if I can find it I will post.
Found something, hope you can see it.
