You must be talking about F-body LS1 brackets.. I've ran them on the last two cars and the first on had a stock subframe.

The alt clears but the AC wont. BRP makes a kit to notch the frame. Also, I can't remember the company but someone makes a bracket that moves the compressor up high but it still works with the F-body pulley system.

Yeah, What he said! Vintage Air has an adapter bracket to run the 508 compressor you will have to run. You will have to change the sompressor to a 508 compressor, the LS compressor is a variable and will not work with aftermarket A/C. The frame notch is no big deal. Street and Performance makes the high and wide bracket Steve is talking about.

Thanks guys.

Yes , i agree . Cant beat the factory stuff. I like the looks and price over the over shiny stuff.

I got all my parts for a really good deal from Pro-touring member Jeff Tate. He really knows GM parts

these guys also sell a bracket to relocate the a/c and is less "blingy" than the street and performance brakcet.

Cool kit, but it places the compressor too far up for me.

Keep the power steering and just run what I do.. I really see zero advantage to NOT having PS.
