I don't know with the pan you are using if this is an option.
My adapter plates are not the slide type, but there are 4 different mounting locations. They are ICT adapter plates: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I mocked up the compressor bracket with the mounts in place. Marked the area that will have to get cut/trimmed out in order to fit the a/c in the stock position. I might trim it out to see if it'll work. But, I'm not too worried about having the a/c hooked up. There's a lot of other stuff that has to be done in order for it to work. Mounting it is the least of my worries about that.

The pan in the kit I ordered is pretty much a copy of the Holley low profile pans that are offered. The dimensions are almost an exact copy.
