Well On Those Ls Based Engine The Air Comp Would Go Kinda Low And It Would Hit The Frame I Would Have Had To Do Some Type Of Cutting On The Frame So It Could Sit In There And I Didnt Really Want To Do That....and I Also Had A Header Prob. On The Pass. Side I Had To Cut A Little On The Upper Control Arm Cus When It Would Move Up And Down It Would Scrape It A Little Bit Cus I Have A 5-7 Drop On It But U Wont Be Able To Get Long Tubes In There Unless U Have Someone Custome Make Them For You

S & P's accy bracket setup fixes the a/c compressor issue (mounts it up top on pass side), however you need to run a sandin style compressor instead of GM. I did not have any header clearance issues (this truck I did was bagged with 20's & 22's & driven daily thru the summer months).

WHy am I just now seeing this thread?
Saw Nick(tm)'s post, and wanted to comment. But... realized his post was over a year old. Trans issues are no more (knock on wood). My latest issue is fuel delivery related. There's a set of rubber lines that I have yet to replace. I need to remove the bed in order to do so. Don't really have the real estate to spare right now. Other than that, gotta pick up an OEM AC compressor, and get OEM lines modified to fit my application. One of these days, I'll be able to say it's 100% finished. Guess that'll happen after my three sons graduate high school in 18 years. ROFLMAO

I'm doing a 6.0/4l80e in my 86 c10. I thought it would be a nightmare, but so far it's not so bad. Hopefully I'll have the engine bay cleaned and shoot a little rattle can in there, then maybe Sunday I'll have time to set the motor/tranny in.
Used carshop plates, 87 fueltank/sending unit, walbro intank pump, vette filter/regulator.
Harness is at speartech right now. Picking up the thorley headers tomorrow afternoon to check the fit.
