is there any way i can use the factory brackets for my alternator and a/c compressor, or do i have to get the brackets for headers? im putting a 350 in my 86 Z28 and its gonna have some sneaky work done to it (mid range cam, headers, port matching, ported plenum, twin 58mm throttle body, etc), but i'm keeping my a/c system intact and functioning.

 

You should be able to no problem...

 

all the brackets should bolt up just fine. I had to use a spacer and a different bolt than what came with the headers.

 

Very nice Z. I finally bit the bullet and purchased a March Pully set [did not get ac but that is easily added] I could not be happier with its looks or performance. Try Jegs, you can even get a"toned down" version that is powder coated silver instead of polished and is less expensive. You will need to rent a p/s pully puller but the job went well. Trust me you will not be sorry and it cleans up that bracket mess like you wouldn't believe!
