Compressor and alternator mounted, tripple pulley on need to source longer belts as standard ones are to short.
Have a spare double pulley if anyone is chasing one.

Looks a good setup wondering if my efi throttle body would clear the alternator as it doesn't clear an original compressor.

We put vintage air in our HQ and had to sacrifice the glove box,we also mounted the alt on the right using a VB V8 commodore bracket but we don't have power steering,the factory unit are for purists only..... Try changing the spark plugs on the left bank with factory air! Our HQ firewall just looks like a HQ without aircond,the only thing that gives it away is the compressor

Are you running a efi 5L? If so im told you use a VK V8 aircond bracket and it fits. I haven't tried it as yet.... But do have one. This post has got me more keen to try it now! As im about to rip out a redo my interior anyway!

Also what was the cost of the setup?

Yes Jason there's an efi engine in it , Ido have a full set up off a vk compressor and alt on drivers side also have the power steer pump but not sure yet . Also can cut off and reweld throttle body on more of an angle but not real keen on that , but it has been done by someone on here( sorry can't recall who). I think the kit is everything included but the gas , so that's where the cost is , I was looking at just the unit and control there is a few different sizes and the new ones are all electronic servos ,which I've seen for between $800 & $1000 use my ac brackets and own hoses condenser and r/drier.

Im considering going the same way. I have mates that can gas it. Also can get all the standard gear at trade prices. So im considering buying the unit and fitting it. And maybe the controls also. As like you say on an efi eng its a different setup.... hmm.

don't get me wrong 2.5k isn't too bad though.
