Ac bracket malibu?

[bl67303]

I am building a 383 engine with AFR 180 eliminator for my 1980 malibu wagoon.
The car has AC and I am planing on using headders.
Does anybody know which brackets I need to buy to hook up the AC ?

I got all the stock brackets. But something need to be changed since I am using headders on the engine.
Does anybody know which bracket I need to buy to be able to use AC and headders???

This might help you. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HED-20110/?rtype=10
I also had to install a spacer and long stud or bolt. I'll have to go outside and look at mine.

It's the correct bracket if you're using the long A3 compressor.

Oh, and welcome aboard. Post some pics of your wagon, too.

The bracket fits between exhaust ports #1 and #3 and uses longer header bolts, which are probably supplied with the bracket.
The forward bracket on the compressor is unchanged, only that you have to add a spacer( which takes up the width of the old exhaust manifold) with a longer stud and nuts in place of the header bolt.

Yeah, got a similar bracket. But I am not able to use it because I use the short style AC compressor.
Thanks anyway ; )
