Not sure what a peanut compressor is nor if it will work for the Burb. Iceburgh tried the Alan Grove for AC down low and it wouldn't fit. He went with Visual Impact System front runner and they run about $1,900 ish. I had concerns since they don't use an idler. They don't have one in black and that is what I want

Only because you cheated and set the engine back into the firewall  - for me, I had to go to remote power steering reservoir for clearance. I'm running the small Sanden SD7 compressor on a narrow top mount
( http://www.kwikperf.com/lsx_high_mount.html - K10291 , Vintage Air sells this as their own LS mount bracket), and I'm going to have to bump the inner fender out about an inch for clearance. With your engine set back you'll be better off, but I suspect you'll still be too close for comfort.
