Truck ac has suction/discharge left to right and some guys notch the frame for ac lines. I used the trailblazer compressor because the suction/discharge are in-line front to back and the blazer compressor is a little smaller so you don't need to notch the frame. If i was to do it all over the trailblazer has everything you need. The mounts look like hockey pucks and sit low and back so not in the way of anything, headers,etc,etc. I will be making up a CCOT (cycling clutch orifice tube) system like the trailblazer uses. I,m running clutch fan so electrical hook-up will be easier. Probably use 73-87 c10 evap core in my 68 ac box, r134 accumulator, trailblazer lines and trailblazer condenser. Good luck, Brian F.

Don't mean to hijack the thread but you wouldn't happen to have some pictures of this setup? I think it might be beneficial for everybody to see.
I was in the exact same boat as far as engine position. I know I want to go FI down the road so I mounted the engine quite far back using the DD mounts on 73-87 stands. There's no way the stock truck compressor fits down low, it hits the DD mounts and I think the frame rails.
