8 or so years ago i tried to mock up a 73 Chevy AC pump to my Packard V8. TWO problems: 1 is the length which is only a minor problem really. The major problem is MOUNTING. However, 3 years ago i picked up an 85 Jag V12 engine with the GM AC pump and it uses a very simple tab type bracket at the rear and the front and maybe an upper strut brace. I have not yet tried to mock it up iusing the Jag pump and brackets but i believe the Jag method with Packard bracket and idleer pulley is an ez way to go. U've probably inspired me to dig out the parts and give a quick mock-up a try maybe over the next day or two. Along with at least 12 other projects i have going on. I'll keep the idea at the for-front of my thots today.
