FINALLY! and update! :lol:
Due to work and other obligations, I have been rather bsy lately. On the bright side though, I got my edelbrock shorties in. That means I am ready to notch the frame for the compressor. Unfortunately though, the headers hit the compressor on the vette bracket. Now I have a few options.
1) Massage the brand new headers that I got in to clear the compressor.
2) Buy the F-body bracketry, and run that accessory setup. Since the accessories are pushed 3/4" forward, I would also be able to run the motor as far back as I wanted.
3) This option I just learned about 5 or so minutes ago. I was looking at brackets on ebay, and a compressor/ bracket popped up for a GTO. The bracket looks very close to the F-Body one, but the "ribs" for the belt are set back. I am not sure about the actual measurements, but it looks like it could be VERY close. This would mean I would need the bracket off an F-Body, or GTO, the compressor off a GTO, and Would still be able to run the rest of the vette accessories. Since the compressor is still set forward though, I would be able to run the motor back as far as I want!
Here is a pic of the GTO compressor
