Kwik Performance K10470 Corvette LSX Wide Mount AC Bracket Kit

Here's a Kwik and easy solution to your LSx engine swap AC compressor problems.

• You may have clearance issues with the frame or crossmember. That's especially true for chassis such as S-10s, early Camaros and Chevelles, and many full size Chevy pickups.
• You may be concerned about the LSx "variable displacement" compressor being compatible with your earlier factory AC system or with an aftermarket system.

Here's how to solve those problems:

• Use an aftermarket compressor like the popular Sanden.
• Mount it with a bracket kit from Kwik Performance, Inc., available in three different versions: Corvette, Camaro/Firebird/GTO, and truck/SUV.
