Vintage air in the 73-87 trucks questions

I hear ya, veinbar. It's hell down here with this heat!

88Jimmy, I didn't use the mounts. I bought ac/alternator brackets from Billet Specialties. I originally had the alternator on the passenger side, but we switched the ac and compressor to opposite sides. Mainly because it's very difficult to find a drivers side ac bracket setup, that is polished.

If they are to be used, at a minimum, they would need to be primered/painted with rustoleum to protect them. Powder coating would probably be the ideal solution for long term or those that want to keep their bay area with a clean look.

For someone looking for functionality only and not concerned with how the engine bay looks, I'd just primer/paint with rusto and go.
