Too cheap to buy a low mount compressor for my LS. Fabricating one isn't difficult.

This is in a first series truck. My engine is set back pretty far and I had to trim one of the unused mounting ears off the Sanborn compressor, but it works. I used the belt tensioner from the GM truck. The end-plate shown in this photo isn't the one I ended up using to get the lines to fit - there's a bunch of options for the Sanborn compressors

Mine's based off of the Alan Grove compressor mount that Vintage Air sells
