LS6 AC issue in truck

[rkwhite61]

Since I had a v6 in the truck previously, I was planning on using all the accessories from my LS6 with my truck conversion. However, I've discovered that on the '02 truck (harness I'm using) the compressor has a high pressure switch built in the compressor (the rear connector). The ac compressor on the LS6 doesn't have a high pressure switch. Any ideas what to do here? Can I ignore the high pressure connector on the '02 harness?

I thought about just installing a truck ac comp and bracket, but wouldn't you know it.... the pulleys do not line up and best I can tell, this method would require swapping everything to a truck accessory setup.

i run fbody accesories and truck AC bracket and compressor. its simple if you enlongate the holes some the pulleys will line up. If you vette accesories no chance in hell to get truck bracket to work

Crap. So now I have to buy an F-body water pump, power steering pump, alternator and f-body alt/power steering bracket and scrap (sell) the vette accessories? What is the best solution here?

vette accessories bring big money, sell them pocket money buy fbody ones and bam...two wins

Do you have the f-body alt mounted in the original low position or are you running a high mount aftermarket setup? Any clearance issues if you are running the original low mount?

besides truck AC i have all fbody accesories!!! been this way since early 06...so no issues it allows for cleaner and more room

Thanks! I'll start shopping. How about the balancer and/or pulley, truck or f-body?
