put a 350 from a 79 k10 blazer into my 85 s10 and havin problems installing my ac compressor because i cant figure out how the brackets bolt on. can anyone post a couple of close up pics of any similar brackets that they might have on there sbc engine. thanks s 10 planet

Are you having a problem with room or just figuring out were the brackets were on the S10 engine.They might no work between the two and you might need to get some custom made or brackets of a older V8 that had air on it and see if you can make it work.But the pulleys will have to line up.Do you have access to a digi cam?If I could see what your working with I could help you better.

ok maybe this will help but not real good pics

I think I have your bracket set-up. We pulled all the accesories off an 87 Firebird little while back and I still have everything at the shop. I'll take the camera with me tomm and get some pics and where they go.

Do you need the brackets?

[Maximus]

I think I might have some brackets off a mid 80's Caprice that would work with what your needing.I will take a look and see if I still have them if I do there yours for shipping costs.

thanks guys im not sure if i have the right brackets. here is a pic of a few that i do have/ i want no if i have the right ones tho until i figure out how they bolt on

These are the brackets I have. Missing 1 but I think I see all you need in your pics.

This is the compressor pivot bracket. Arrows bolt to the head, #1 is the pivot bolt hole and #2 is for the power steering. I don't think your bracket has the #2 slot.

Here it is bolted to the head with the adjustment bracket bolted also

The bracket I am missing bolts the extra adjustment bracket hole to the intake or water pump. I think you have that one.

Just for clarity, the pivot bolt.

There is a bracket that bolts to the stock exh manifold that can be modified to work with headers. It would bolt to the head of the bolt seen at center left (threaded hole in center of bolt head).

You definitely want this support bracket to keep vibrations to a minimum.
