Serpentine A/C compressors bolts - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

hchad18 · 06-02-2009, 10:22 PM

I am mounting a serpentine system off a 90 Chevy blazer on my 71 chevy truck. The A/C side bracket has the holes wobbles out because the bolts were 3/8" bolts that ran all the way from one side of the bracket to the other side through the compressor. Checker auto shows plain 1.5" - 2" long bolts. The back side of the compressor has 12mm threads but it seams that the bolts should go all the way through to the front side. Can anyone help with a pic or tell me how this is supposed to mount. I have another bracket and don't want to destroy it.

Thanks

I appreciate that. I should have stated it was a full size blazer. I think I might have figured it out though. Thanks

I sent you another PM.

I have a '96 w/AC. I'll take a pic of it if you think that it will help. I have a 4.3 in mine but there may be some similarities to the V-8's. Haven't cross-referenced any of the serpentine belt components to know if they are the same across the board. If you don't have a pic by the morning, I'll take one of mine and post it.

I'll take a pic tomorrow of mine. My truck is a 90 Blazer with a 350...

Here's 3 pix of my 4.3 in my '96. Maybe they'll help.

I totally forgot about the pic. Here is a shot I took after installing the new motor. If this is like yours I'll get better shots tomorrow...

Thats the one. This setup I got came with two supports that connect to the intake. What did you did with yours?

72 CustomCamper · 06-05-2009, 12:26 AM

They bolt to the back side of the belt tensioner...

72 CustomCamper · 06-05-2009, 12:32 AM

Here's the other side pic I have for now. I'll get better shots tomorrow...

72 CustomCamper · 06-05-2009, 05:56 PM

Here are better pics.

Here are the 2 support rods.

Drivers side.

Pass side.

If you need anymore pics let me know...
