L83/L86/LT swap - what A/C compressor?

[Joyridin]

I am going to put a Vintage air on my L83 in my truck. I have instructions on how to modify the existing A/C compressor to remove the variable displacement and you can run it with the Vintage air.

However, I met a guy at a cruise-in and he said he used this method and the A/C compressor last about 1 year before it burns up.

Anybody running the factory mounting and able to modify the bracketry or compressor enough to mount something like a Sanden off an LS ?
