Unfortunately these mounts don't work in the first gen Camaro. They put the compressor outlets directly under the frame stand portion of the motor mount.

Like Don (DHutton) mentioned we had quite a discussion on the the LS1tech site about this.

I talked to ATI this morning and I'm waiting on a bolt on 4 rib pulley to add to the front of my factory balancer. We'll see if it's going to work when it gets here in a few days..............

I didn’t know there was motor mount interference I plan to use this bracket on my car but I run a totally different style motor mount. Could this work on a stock camaro frame if you re worked the motor mount.

Here is how I did my motor mount

Your motor mount is certainly smaller than a factory one. I don't know the hoses might sneak by the mount. I don't think you're going to have frame clearance with the side of the compressor though. It's really hard to tell from just the one picture. I posted a picture of the two compressors side by side in the LS1tech thread if you want to take a look at the comparison. Towards the bottom of the first page http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=765005

Where's the routing of the number 2 header tube going? I'm pretty sure it's not going between the mount and the compressor. Like I said above it's really hard to tell from just one picture and one angle.

Maybe Tyler can check in later, but I think they had a solution before. It required a new balancer were the pulley is moved to the front so that the compressor gets clear of the frame. And as I undertand it is not part of the serpentine system they have. It might also require another routing of the lower radiator hose

I talked with Tyler a couple of months ago. The only solution he offered was the Sidewinder setup.

That is stock f body compressor mounted on there in the picture. And it clears but barely my frame is only 30 inches wide in side the rails. I don’t have a picture with the #2 header tube in the car but I can tell you that I am able to get to the big bolt on the motor mount with a socket on a ratchet with know extensions. I looked a the ls1tech tread I think I will be ok with my set up

Here is the final lay out of the header out of the car.
