brackets to keep a/c

[fodoimp]

what car should I be looking at for brackets for a small block chevy in my cutlass so I can keep the stock a/c in the car? I can make new lines if it needs to go to the other side that is no problem. But I want something clean looking possibly serpentine

thanks

do you have a V6 and your putting in a small block or was it never equiped with AC? you can find the brackets you need from most g bodies i think including el camino, monte carlo, cutless, grand prix. those will fit exactly. I'll check my car but you might have to remove the manifolds to install them.

if you want serpentine

go find a s10 88 or newer with the 4.3 steal the brackets and the water pump because the serpentine on the 4.3 has a backwards water pump and take the pully off the alternater and swap with you older a vbelt alternator and the fan to because the fan is reversed if you cant find a blazer you can do it with and 89 and up v8 chevy like caprice impala and fullsize pick ups

Yeah, that was mine. If the car had a 307 V8, get the serp setup off a late 80's (mine came from an '88) Camaro with the TPI engine. The compressor is located where the original one was on the 307. You can use the Camaro's compressor. The rest of the 307 a/c equipment should be used. See my picks in my 307 to sbc thread in the knowledge section.

HTH!
