Ok I bought one and installed it in my 69 Bird and started looking at my AC mounting...
I had the Fbody bracket on it before now dont think that will work :bang:

Kwik Performance and Holley both have passenger side high mount AC brackets for Sanden compressors that work with F body accessories.

I have the Holley cast aluminum mount on my 69 Firebird and am impressed and pleased with it. I have Vintage Air Sure Fit kit and the Holley mount worked very well. The paperwork reccomended a certain length belt but I found that a belt 3/4" shorter fit better. My engine is a 2004 GTO LS1 with original pulleys.

thanks Don and Tim
I was looking at work today and found the dreaded answer Fbody comp mount will not work, I did see Holley and Kwik and dirty dingo I kind of like the Holley stuff so far - any pics of that bracket and comp installed?
BTW on a weird side not LAT-G is blocked at work and the other PT board isnt but I really dont like the setup they have for threads


Out with the old

I'm not sure that it will work with your setup but it fits much tighter than the factory mount.
I used the Allen Grove low mount for my Camaro. I am using the TCI subframe, I am very happy with results. Nice and tight.

Thanks Sleepertime and I like the design but when I looked at a TCI frame compared to the DSE I dont see anyway a low mount will work, please anyone else been here done this?

Kwik makes a low mount bracket for the small Sanden compressor but it is for LSA/Corvette accessories. For F body accessories your only option is the Alan Grove bracket but it won't fit the DSE sub. The Art Morrison sub is the only one I am aware of that will accommodate the stock F body compressor or the Alan Grove F body mount.

Rich, I put the Holley bracket in my wife's 69 vert if you want to take a look at one installed. It is the Corvette spacing version.
