6.0 in 66 with the a.c.? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm getting ready to swap my motor in but I would like to keep the a.c on it.
What is needed to make it functional in the truck? I have the complete donor vehicle. But I have nothing else.

That's something I have not considered. The room is comparable to trucks up until the late 80's

I Don’t have enough room between the compressor and the motor mount my motor is out of a G8 same as Camaro but my brother’s is out of a truck and he had room If that helps

With slider mounts you can slide the motor forward enough to have room for the compressor. Mine are an '84 and an '86. I don't know how that translates to a '66.

Sounds like I may be ok. This is as truck drivetrain. I'm starting to think the a.c. is going to be the hardest part of the swap.
