What compressor with LS1 and Vintage Air

[carone]

What compressor should I run in a 69 Camaro with and lS1 and vintage air?

[Steve68]

Sanden 508, now you have to pick which goofy bracket you want to run

[Bill Howell]

Street and Performance probably has a bracket that you can use.

They do but it moves high on the passenger side. Kit around $600.00 last time I checked a couple years ago.

[Steve68]

There's a newer one out now, not so much monies,

Is this an S&P piece?

[Steve68]

Yes it is, smaller bolts to the head, and polished, bling bling, it should be on there page,

[StuckInBaghdad]

Can you use the factory compressor that is used on the ls1?

[Steve68]

No, the VA system and the GM system are variable pressure systems, It would work for alittle bit, and then the system would grenade itself, thats what I was told by a reputable VA installer,

Steilow built a bracket system for a Sanden, but I don't know what pully he used,

Vinatge air makes a bracket that puts it back in the stock location. It came with the kit ordered from Detroit Speed.

[Steve68]

They must have finally come out with it, awhile ago the sent me a pic of a so called proto type, I wasn't really that impressed with it, but I'll check it out now,

S&P sells one that mounts a Sanden in the original Fbody location,(lower right) but moves it forward to miss their motor mount plates. It deletes the original A/C belt and runs off the front belt.

It will work on a stock subframe but you will need to notch it a bit.

[Steve68]

PK, come on man give us a closer pic PLEASE!

oh buy the way very nice!

[Payton King]

If you go to www.hotrodlane.cc they have an online cataloge. I think it is on page 60 but not sure. I am using the system that retains the stock GM bracket (fbody) for the power steering and pump.

Tell me what you would like to see and I will get you a shot

[JayBird]

Looking real good Payton!

[datsbad]

It will not work on a stock subframe!!!!!!

[Steve68]

So, you still need to make a cut out, anybody see the on MarkS used on X he made his own, but I think you need to add another pully to the hub.

I just finished helping a freind with an ls1 conversion in a 66 Chevelle which we used the Vintage Air A/C bracket.The comp.did fit in the stock location,but I had to build custom alt. and tensioner brackets,which moved the alt. to pass side top to get it away from the steering box.I tried that A/C bracket set up on my 68 Camaro,and it didn't come close to fitting,but I am running an aftermarket sub frame.Looks like I going to be building some custom A/C and idler brackets.

[Payton King]

before I switched to the 21st piece. Notched the subframe and it fit just fine. I was using the F body stuff that sits out further than the vette stuff.
