This sale doesn't apply to the A/C system which is nearing completion. The A/C kit will not work with blower setups due to the alternator placement on the drivers side.

I am going to be using your A/C Alt relocation setup, and I was planning to try Procharger's High Small Block mount. It places the Supercharger up high on the drivers side, since I eliminated my ABS module it "should" fit. It might be a while before I try it though (I am trying to build a 69 Camaro right now too).

I'm sorry to tell you this, but I know first hand that the ProCharger SBC brackets will NOT fit on an LT1 in a 4th gen F-body. I've tried it on my car. You can bolt the brackets on, but it will be pretty much resting on the strut tower. In order to bolt the blower on you would have to cut the ENTIRE strut tower out of the car, but if you do that you won't be able to bolt the strut/upper a-arm in!
Just kidding, thanks for the information, you saved me from wasting a lot of money on something that will not work.
Now I guess I'll just have to put a larger cam in my LT4 for more HP.
Who is the best person/company to talk with to get the "best" cam and possibly springs for my engine?

This Friday is the end of the sale!
good news for the few that are looking for the A/C setup
We test fit it last night and all is good. I will have some pics up later today showing it on the car and now polished.
hard to see it since it's rather busy, but you will get the idea
The only issue is this car has no front sway bar. We never tested or thought about the sway bar. We had a customer bring it to our attention that our PS/ALT kit did hit his swaybar and with a small amount of clearancing it fit. I do not have a swaybar here to check with, but our thought is to make a spacer for the swaybar for the people who still run them.

I just received this kit on Monday and spent about 2 hours last night installing it, and I must say it is a VERY nice setup! The machining quality is second to none and it almost looks too clean to put on my engine. It cleans up the engine bay sooooooo much moving the alternator down low on the drivers side.
My instructions were a rough draft, so they had some hand written directions, but they are some of the easiest to follow I have EVER used.
The AC compressor actually fits WAY easier than with the original mount, and gives better access to the plug wires.
I am not done with the install yet, I had a couple bolts that were too long that will be corrected for any further kits, so I will post pics once it is complete and the engine is running.
It will not work with a stock procharger setup, but I have an F-1A that I am designing a custom high mount to use with this kit. I would much rather show off a polished F-1A rather than an ugly LT1 alternator!
I will update once I get it done.

Alright, I'll do some checking and let you know because I'm not sure if the location of the alternator on that kit will clear the frame rail on my monte. The A/C compressor in the stock location didnt... Do you know if the alt in your kit hangs lower or more to the side than the stock a/c comp?
