Aftermarket A/C with an ls swap.

I'm sure all of the aftermarket kits will work with an ls swap, but are there any that come with a compressor and mouting brackets for the ls setup? I have my compressor from the pullout, but my motor mounts get in the way and I didn't do the mod to the plates to get them to fit when I put the engine in so I think that is out of the question now. So, does anyone know if any brand offers what I'm needing or if I need to buy the sanden compressor and top mount from one of the available companies, plus the full kit?

Re: Aftermarket A/C with an ls swap.

You may need a high mount AC mount, Kwik Performance and some others off them, With KwikPerformance you would need a Sanden compressor with the appropriate drive. If your going to order from an ac vendor, then just ask for the serpentine belt pulley.

I have seen some with the ability to use an A4 compressor in the high mount config but I am not sure what brand of mounts they are.

Good luck!

Thanks for the info, I was hoping someone would offer the whole kit with the ls mounts but I guess I can piece it together.

Re: Aftermarket A/C with an ls swap.

I bought the Dirty Dingo bracket and then a Sanden comp off Ebay. Just had to purchase a new belt to run everything.
