Looking good. Did you drive the compressor with a single long belt or add an extra pulley to the damper?

The compressor mount looks good but too bad the filter had to go. I see some prelim photos of the mount in progress at the PAC forum. Any final drawings or detail photos of the completed mount and how it bolts to the block that you can share so others won't need to reinvent the wheel?

Is there a way some kind of bracket could be an option that would bolt to the mount and support the original filter in front of the oil fill tube or is that space too congested.

PackardDon brought up a subject in his tale of two Patricians thread about the oil fill pipe being bent on some engines so the oil fill cap vent openings were moved to be in tne direct air flow and not blocked by the PS pump. This was also an issue on the 356 engine with the oil filter blocking air flow and the introduction of the forced ventilation horizontal vent tube. I wonder if the venting is going to become an issue with the compressor in front.
