Very Interesting. Looks like the compressor was on the drivers side in Clippers and line run down inside frame rail -- probably with with brake line and then crosses over.

I'm using a repro compressor mount for a conventional body so compressor is on the passenger side. Already finished with that part so don't really want to change it now. Will look into a different tubing route though and see how much of a problem it might be to get the tubing -- in particular the suction side -- over to drivers side. Conventional bodies ran a tube across the firewall but not sure I like that option.

Any ideas on why they changed the compressor to the opposite side on Clippers and did they keep the 356 horizontal ventilation tube and oil filter in the same spot. Those items are awfully close to that compressor location.

Thanks for the info from the fact book.
