The common aftermarket slant-6 compressor mount is poorly designed, and the factory setup uses a not-very-good C171 compressor. Save yourself a great deal of hassle; get Charrlie S' compressor mount kit and put in a Sanden-type compressor. See here.
I need to talk to Charlie about this. Everything I have read he states that the common aftermarket mount does not work well for A bodies,but I saw no mention of trucks or other body styles.

yep
a couple of different ways to go,,
remember I got most everything basically free,, I put power steering on my D-150 and took out a manual steering box. I swapped that manual box for all of the AC stuff turboram had removed from his truck. I knew at that time I was going to be completely stripping the 83 D-150,, so taking the dash out was on the agenda anyway,, also,, I just like to find a reason to go to the pull-a-parts :lol:
I do too but the closest one to me is over 30 miles away,so I dont get to go all that often. Plus they crush most Mopar stuff.

I did my A/C mount, mainly to cure problems on "A" bodies. It will work with other models including trucks, but so will the other existing "older" aftermarket mount, as there is more clearemce at the front of the engine.
My mount will not work if the engine has an air pump. I don't think the other aftermarket mount will work with the air pump either.
