1974 F100 Headers project

Need some advice from the group. I have a 1974 SWB F100 390 auto with factory air. I would like to put headers on it but am concerned about the compressor bracket that connects the factory compressor to the exhaust manifold. Does anyone know of a smaller replacement compressor or of a compressor brace that connects to the intake manifold? Thanks

Google Sanden conversion, simple. The compressor is lightweight, quiet and efficient.
Here's a picture of my '73 w/ 390.
