      Holley LS accessory brackets.

      Holley has recently released a slew of accessory brackets for the LS motors to aid in swapping to other vehicles. I like the look of their high mount AC brackets. Gets it out of the way while still looking like the other cast brackets.

      You are right I also would like to see how it fits compared to KWIK AC bracket, which I currently have

      The Holley AC bracket I've seen is made to fit the R4 compressor, not a Sanden.

      They will offer both. And IMO it looks better than the qwik especially if you r running corvette accy system because it matches exactly the vette alt bracket and doesn't look like a bunch of billet flat stock that's bolted together

      Bracket pictured above is for the Sanden compressor. Pictured below is for the R4 compressor.







      Not a real picture, but this shows the Sanden compressor bracket installed.



      Got that image from this document:

      Good to see another option. When I did my first swap S&P was about the only game in town, and they were expensive. I ended up making my own brackets.
      Kwik went on my second swap. Thinking I'll go with the Holley brackets on the next. They do look good and are priced right.

      The R4 compressor bracket can be ordered now from Summit. Dunno if it is really available yet.

      So my question is, since I have to buy a compressor anyway, which is better & why? Car originally had the R4 style compressor.

      These are nice, and they are not expensive, either.

      Bought the R4 brkt couple weeks ago from Pace and had it in a couple days. Installed but still need to pick up a compressor. Nice piece that fits well with the vette brkt.

      We installed the KWIK on the 69 Camaro/LS3 here in the shop, and it's ugly. The cast Holley part looks better. Maybe I'll give Pace a call.

      Robin L. told me at ls fest they were on the shelf in BG so getting them is not a problem. They had them on display and they are nice looking

      Can you post a pic of the installed bracket?


      I really like this bracket. I wish they would also make them for the smaller SD-7 compressor.

      I wonder what the belt loading and tracking will be like. The factory arrangement uses a separate belt for the A/C. The W/P wrap % is a bit concerning as well if the above is correct.

      There is very little difference in the belt pully coverage on the Holley setup compared to the stock GM setup from the factory. From the factory there is a tension pulley at the location in front of passenger side head.

      Holley has had this bracket on their test wagon since before power tour. I don't think they have a issue with the WP slipping
