A/C options
I am looking for a way to mount a ac compressor in a place other then the factory place. What are the options? 85 chevy suburban is what it is going in.

Re: A/C options
These are some of the options I have found. Kinda pricy, but I don't have the tools/skills to modify the frame in the manner that accomodates the factory location.
http://www.kwikperf.com/lsx_ac.html http://paceperformance.com/i-5146492...lternator.html The second one is pricy, but has everything you need. The bracket can be bought from kwik performance and a compressor can be bout off of ebay for around 100 bucks. Then it's a little cheaper.

Re: A/C options
I recommend this one, as your 85 sub should have came with this style compressor already. I have read that Novak will sell the kit without the compressor for around $300. I wish I would've used this kit on my 94 swap.

Re: A/C options
