Old AC with new 5.3?
 
Mark,

Can you address what was easy and what was difficult if anything?

ie. Old AC with new 5.3L?

Every looks like it just dropped in easily and fell into place!

Great job as always!!!

p.s. when do you want me to ship you my 2nd Gen F-body? LOL

I used the Holley mid mount accessory drive that gave me a clean a/c mount and power steering pump.

If I would have pitched an aftermarket wiring harness this deal would have been fairly straight forward. Use all the GM stuff made it look cool be a bit more work to sort out the wiring.

The engine, trans and stock exhaust manifolds fit fine. I had to make custom engine mounts to position it where I wanted it. I think Holley sell mounts now. I just made my own because I knew it would fit.

The transmission mount was easy. I used the stock 78 Blazer transmission crossmember and mount and moved it back one set of holes. So far on the engine swap I had to drill two holes for the trans crossmember. The hot side of the exhaust the passenger side was stock and the drivers side needed reworked. I retained all the catalytic converters for cheap mufflers.

The Holley accessory drive fits great and solves the power steering pump issue that LT have.

The stock radiator went in very easy.

So far this has been one of the easiest projects I’ve ever done.

It’s been a lot of fun so far.
