Air Conditioning compressor relocation Ford 302

AC Conversion Ford 302.





Passenger side 1993 Tbird 302 V8 with air pump shown under alternator, hangs from bottom of alternator bracket. Delete the air pump, mount AC compressor in its place.


Small angle bracket brace from compressor to handy block hole.



AC compressor mounted to plate, hung from air pump bracket using 5/8" thick aluminum plate. Ignore the pattern on plate, it was used as a backup for a CNC mill. There are small tubing spacers on the bolts between the compressor and the plate.

Note precision spacers on the pivot bolt at the top of the plate. These were to adjust belt alignment and to allow a tight fit so the casting ears would not be stressed and broken off when tightened.
