I've been reading threads for about 2 days now and my head is spinning.

I need my Vintage Air/Sanden A/C compressor high on the passenger side,....and would prefer the alternator up on the drivers side with the P/S below. (unless there's a technical reason not to do those 2 like that)

The LS7 has it's stock balancer which I guess puts me into 'special' brackets due to pully spacing, as compared to LS1/LS6, LS2/LS3, or truck setups. (I think LS1/6 are different than LS2/3.....not positive)

I want something with a little bling, probably billet.


Am I better off getting a setup for an LS7's pully spacing,....or am I better off with a "non-LS7" kit and using a different balancer/pully? :confused:

I have a nice billet bracket for the ls1 & ls2 for relocating the alt to the passenger side but if you need to run a/c up top Kwik is the best bang for the buck IMO unless you have the budget for the more expensive $$$$$$ serpentine systems. Here is their website link.

I have that same setup you are looking for on my ls6. I got my parts from Street and Performance.

this was a great thread for seeing different styles of pullies last year: https://www.pro-touring.com/forum/showthread.php?t=40393&highlight=accessory+drive


I know the vendors involved, I just don't know if there's any value to changing the LS7 balancer to one that then fits the LS1/2/3/6 setups.

I have this Street and Perfomance set up for sale. I used it for mostly show since the spread layout looks so tough.
Includes damper, belt, PS pump, AC condenser, High amp alt and upgraded bearings. PM if interested. I'll make a hugh killer deal.
I'm in the process of adding Hotchkis handle bars and this set-up would not allow it without mods.

From the looks of that A/C unit, I think my Alston support braces might be in the way, much like those Hotchkis bars. :( Too bad for me cause I like your setup.
