Title: V8 Aircon engine brackets Post by: perth_ute on January 11, 2012, 05:38:11 PM Hello All, I am after any pics of 308/efi with aircond. I like the idea of drivers side under the power steering pump but it is not going to fit because of the hr crossmember. I have a bunch of mounts but looking for pics of the different setups.

Don't think you would be able to do it under the power steer pump with the HR front. When I had the van, I had to mount the compressor up high on the V6. Have you got photos of your set up as it sits in the bay. Would love a look to kick ideas around.

I have the vs power steering pump on the drivers side and alternator on the passenger standard but want to get the aircon while everything is being put together. It is very tight but having a ball. I found a pitchure of a vk brock engine where the aircon is above the alternator on the drivers side and the power steering on the passenger. Anyone tried this setup with/without efi?

I had a thought about above the engine as well, like a supercharger, but wouldn't look real good. |
