Default AC compressor fittings

I'm looking for the part that bolts to the ports on the AC compressor for an LT1 out of an Fbody. I need one that comes off the sides and not out the back like stock. Anyone have any idea where I can look and what the proper name for that piece might be?

Thanks

Pretty sure it is called a manifold. I have seen various ones on eBay.

Or something like this:

Manifold sounds like it might be correct. Thanks for the link too, Don. That may be exactly what I need. I'll contact them and find out.

Are you trying to use a stock lt compressor?

Do you mean a compressor block adapter?

Yes, the aftermarket options for changing the accessory brackets out are ugly in my opinion, and I'm not aware of anyway to mount an alternative compressor like a Sanden in place of the factory unit.

I found that piece, too. I think it may be the same one Don linked to only from a different source. I'm emailing Vintage Air now to see if it will fit. It's listed as working with A6 compressors but technically mine is an HD6 compressor.

Thanks Kevin

Vintage Air wrote back and said it should work for me. I'll give it a shot and find out. Thanks for the help!
