I'm contemplating installing an air conditioning kit in my '66 C-10. I began searching for a stock compressor bracket because I heard they were getting difficult to find. The air kit I am considering indicates their source for brackets has gone dry.
I went to a local wrecking yard and they guy there had a set of brackets off what he said was a 1978 Nova 6 cylinder. They even had the Delco 1131076 compressor attached - but were off the car. There are three brackets attached to the compressor - one appears to mount to the vehicle frame and the tension adjuster bracket has two bolts in slots to hold the belt adjustment.
All the 250 air systems that I have seen in pictures show the compressor located high on the passengers side of the engine - right beside the valve cover.
My question is - has anyone seen an air conditioning system on a 250 that was mounted elsewhere? With the brackets he has, I can't imagine how they would be used in the traditional position.
