I have bought a wrecked 03 Avalanch with the 5.3 with 150,000 miles that runs and drives for the donor and have the Boyd's tank , a stand alone wiring harness , and gathering more when I can .

Any help much appreciated , my 350 crate engine with low miles uses too much oil to enjoy on long trips .
Thanks

Here are the fittings that you need. https://coldhose.com/catalog/product...g/category/39/

It is most definitely possible to use a factory A/C compressor in the factory low mount position in a 67-72 C10 frame without cutting the frame. I have done it numerous times. It is entirely dependent on the mounts used and the position of the engine.
