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,
