Vintage Air bracket question Alan Grove 142R

Getting my parts list together for the next LS swap I will be doing in the 72 Suburban and I would like to keep the a/c compressor down low and tucked. I will be using the Sanden compressor and I am trying to see if anybody has pictures or can tell me if the Alan Grove lower truck bracket (142R) works. Any help would be appreciated.

I've also been curious about this. What's their return policy?

It fits but, it's tight. Depending on your adapter plate and motor mounts, you need to make sure it won't hit the back of the compressor. These pics are from Alan Grove. I'll try to get pics later from my truck. You also need to order the right offset mount to line up with the crank pulley.

You can see how tight it is, but it fits.

I would think it would, I'm using the factory stands and adapter plates that put mounts a little forward.

Reviving an old thread. How did things work out with your lines clearing?
