5.3 swap with a/c
I have a sanden compressor now with my vintage a/c and going to do a 5.3 swap. should I use the factory compressor or use the sanden? also should I use one of the relocation brackets and move it to the pass side top? and help or advice appreciated.

Re: 5.3 swap with a/c
Well a stock compressor probably isn't cheap so if you're looking for brackets that fit the sanden go here, don't spend a mint on billet-y bling.
www.kwikperf.com nice guys too, they just do this on the side for fun.

Re: 5.3 swap with a/c
I used the 4.8 compressor with some Doc's Bloks and I still had to clearance the frame rail. I would do the Sanden and the Kwik Performance brackets, looks good and performs very well with the sanden compressor. Sell the LS compressor and it will pay for about half of the cost of the Kwik Performance mount. You can get a ribbed clutch from VA for about $100.00. Doing it this way will not be the cheapest. however If I had to do it all over again, it is the way I would go for looks and useability.
