Title: 68 AC and PS install to block - spacer?
Post by: Milo on May 01, 2020, 07:08:29 PM
During my mockup, I noticed noticed a gap where the AC bracket that holds the pulley meets the PS bracket at the block. Small gap, more like a thick washer. Is that true? I didn't exactly tighten every bolt up, as it was just a mock run, but it gave me pause.

Dropped the engine in yesterday! Looking forward to being on the other side of that mountain.

Thanks again, Chris!

Small block/big block?

 Compressor bracket leg connects to same bolt as upper PS bracket bolt hole.

Yes, but just to confirm - there is no spacer that goes between the block and the upper PS bracket? Outside in is AC compressor bracket leg -> upper PS bracket -> block, correct?

Thanks!

No spacer there. Just the compressor bracket leg and the PS bracket .

The spacer is used if you DON'T have a/c.
