VA low mount AC? - Lateral-g Forums

awr68 · #1 01-07-2016, 10:48 PM

I have a 68 Camaro with a SpeedTech frame. I would like to use a fbody accessory bracket for PS and Alt but really don't care for the look of a high mount AC compressor even with the Holley bracket. Has anyone tried Vintage Air's Low Mount bracket? And would a SD7 be better than the 508 for fitment?

The VA low mount looks similar to what Mark fabbed up on Camaro X so I have hopes it may work. I'm thinking using a SD7 will help with plumbing since it from the from the side and not out the back like on the 508.

I love the Front Runner or Drive Junky but not sure it's in the budget. I may just have to use Holley's brackets.

Thanks! That looks like the same approach as the VA low mount. Do you know for sure this will work for my application?

Can't answer if it will clear your subframe. Allows the va comp to be used in stock location so you don't have to use a gm comp

I just put the AlanGrove mount on an LS1, cant tell ya if it will work on your chassis. It mounts the SD508 nice and tight to the block. I'll snap a pic if you would like?

I used the Allen Grove low mount for the camaro. I am very happy with results. Nice and tight.

Here is the Alan Grove bracket with a Sanden 508 on an LSA motor in a 66 Nova....the Vintage Air bracket IS an Alan Grove bracket.
