Need pics of BBC brackets - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 454 that I am getting ready to drop into my 68' 2wd short box I am building. I got this motor with no brackets. I am buying all chrome/polished accessories and just bought the chrome vintage air A/C kit that mounts the compressor high on the passenger side.

Does anyone else run their a/c compressor in the same spot? My searches look like having it on the driver's side would have been better, but I want to keep it clean.

I would like to see some pics if you have them, Will be running a/c, alt, and power steering. I am staying with v-belt

I recommend getting in touch with these guys for brackets and pullys for AC, PS, Alternator: http://www.alangrovecomponents.com/. They're really knowledgeable and can get you setup with what you need. Was a pain for me to find brackets for my 350 to BB swap, but they came through.

Similar situation on my 68. We used the Alan Grove brackets too, fit perfectly. Vintage air setup. Check out the latter pages of my build there are several pictures. Let me know if you need more.
