Which compressor?

This is not the stock engine. It came with a 454, so will the mount that is on the engine allow for the same compressor that is compatible with the other a/c componets? I have a pic of the mount. If anyone can shed some light on possibly what era the engine is from that would be great.
Thanks ahead for any help.

Re: Which compressor?

Here is the original compressor in my 77 Cheyenne. As you can see this is not the style you have. I feel its the later style compressor. Look here- LINK

Re: Which compressor?

Okay, i'll see what bracket's i can get easier. I think there is one junk yard left here.. I guess that would be a good place to start.
