Keeping Factory ac pump - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Currently mocking up my 67. I wanted to retain my AC compressor in the factory location. I used 73-87 c20 stands and clamshell mount and made the engine side mount out of 1/4. Similar to what ece sells. This places the engine too far forward for my liking. First stand mount hole slides back to 2nd mount hole in the frame, sliding the engine back about 2.75”. Here’s my simple solution. Thought I’d share if it may help someone else.

That’s a slick way to do it!
Those later clamshell mounts are so much better than the flat type.
