Anybody running the factory mounting and able to modify the bracketry or compressor enough to mount something like a Sanden off an LS ?

Not sure what burned up, sounds like he had a wiring problem, bad compressor to begin with or poor aftermarket quality compressor...
Ive been running stock gen5 compressor with the factory solenoid valve tied into the compressor clutch for 4+ years zero problems, 2 other builds, no problems. 2 of them use the a/c can bus module to turn them on. 1 with stock 1987 a/c on power, and 1 with vintage air ground signal input to module (that turns on a/c) both work exactly the same, normal.
