Okay so i bought my 5.3 without a compressor. I finally bought it after the swap and guess what..... It doesn't fit!!! I know i need a a/c tensioner pully thing.... but the holes still don't line up.... Can you guys snap some pics of your a/c compressor please!!! Am i missing a bracket or something? What does the compressor mount to? The engine block? My truck is a 2000 RCSB with a 2002 5.3 engine in it. Thanks guys

 

The compressor mounts to a aluminum bracket that is bolted to the block. Im prettu sure it acutally holds the tensioner as well. Go peek in some engine swap threads.

 

I've got plenty of those brackets bro...if you need one pay for shipping and I will send it to you

 

lol how does it mount?

 

tons of good pics right here.

The bracket mounts to the bottom pass. Side with three or four bolts (which I also have have) flatter side to the motor and the compressor tucks into the mount I guess you could say and the tensioner which I have some of too will mount to the front bottom part of the mount...give half a hour and I will take a pic for you

 

They are little crappy but I was trying to show you where the tensioner goes and the how the compressor kind of tucks into the mount

 

Hey thanks alot appreciate it!

Hey Robert thanks alot i appreciate everything and the offer, but i called the junk yard where i got it from and they said i just have to go pick up the parts i don't have and need. If i go and they say something like oh well we don't have them anymore ill gladly get them from you.
