    which a/c relocation bracket?

    Not that this is model specific, buy which a/c relocation bracket has some of you guys used? I am doing a LS motor swap, what are my options? Is there any way that I can use my current compressor or use the LQ4 compressor.

    Thanks. Mr.Ed

    that is a very model specific question. What are you swapping the engine into?

    I used a bracket from Kwik Performance. It bolted up great and looks great. I wasn't able to use the stock compressor though, as it required me to get a Sanden style compressor (SD5, SD7, 508, etc.).

    But its on and works great.

    S&P makes one but it is way more expensive and only comes in chrome...so if you're not all about the bling, it will stand out.

    I'd go with Kwik again if I do another swap. It was easy and pretty cheap.

    Thanks,

    This is one way of using the factory compressor off of a 90s model.

    josh powers on pt.net has a custom bracket kit that works on our OBS LSx swaps. AC bracket options for LSx swap - PerformanceTrucks.net Forums
    he does great work, i bought his 3/8" adapter plates. very good machine work. good luck oh and you are able to use your stock compressor without having to change lines or anything.
