Thread: 5.0 short water pump find

Today i played with serpentine a bit. Alt. mount will fit fine under hood with some slight grind on bracket. The a/c will be a bit more involved . The journey to be able to drive in any weather Chicago can give , heat and a/c is a must .

The left side brkt which holds original power steering and a/c will have to be cut a lot . First pic showing brkt as a whole and second shows what is left . I first cut off the section i need that holds the a/c compressor which is located all the way at the bottom .

Then taking out a section at the top and roughly holding compressor up till i had a idea where to cut. I think i read where a compressor can't be reangled due to design and oil issues. So up top i cut a bit to stand a/c mount section in its original mount angle . A little more cutting but close is getting there . Fabbing one in steel probably is alot faster but the aluminum look i do like . Some more trimming and i think the idea will be belted really soon .

Issue with redoing the belt guide will be later when i have a/c in postion and welded up.
