Re: LS SWAP W/ Vintage Air ???

Most of the truck ac compressors are not variable displacement and can be made to work with aftermarket ac systems. There is some discussion on LS1Tech about it

https://ls1tech.com/forums/conversio...e-fixed-2.html

The problem with most OE truck ac mounts is that they interfere with the frame rail. Both Alan Grove and Vintage Air sell a mount that keeps the AC compressor low and clears the frame rail, but they use the Sanden compressor.

If you currently have a Sanden compressor from VA, I would get, or fab, the low compressor mount to use it on your new LS motor. Here is a pic of one I fabd for my truck after looking at the one from Alan Grove. It uses the stock tensioner from the truck
