ford 302 A/C brackets
76 ford 302 with power steering in 49 ford truck with MII front end. I need to install A/C due to the ungodly heat in Texas in summer. Looking for suggestions for compressor mounting. thanks.

Did you look at a stock setup from the bone yard? While finding a '76 motor is going to be difficult, the position of the compressor is what is the key element of the installation. And the bonus in getting a newer setup, you might just score one with the smaller compressor.
Later!

I have a buddy that just installed a Vintage Air Frontrunner system on his 302 and he has his original system available. I am meeting him for breakfast and can ask him for some pics and get an idea about how much he would want for the A/C setup. He has the compressor as well as the mounting as I recall.

I do not believe that he is on this forum but I did speak with him this morning. He has the complete setup to add the A/C and convert the v-belt to serpentine. Included is a new PowerCraft (?) chrome alternator, A/C compressor, and all belts (2) and pulleys. He wants $250 for the whole setup. He is going to send me some pics later today.

Here is what I got from my buddy:
Got stock parts from 89 Lincoln. This setup uses two serpentine belts withcompressor located on passenger side, was only available for a couple years on full size Lincoln/Ford/Mercury cars, think 88-90. Smog pump is removed and a shorter belt used for the AC compressor. Parts include Chrome Powermaster 100 amp Alternator PWM-837100 $180, fairly New PowerSteering Pump AA1-20-6240F $45, Used Compressor $50, New Compressor Manifold HP-1004 $35, New Compressor Block FS10 $50, Pulleys, Belt Tensioner, Serpentine Belts, Brackets, and Mounting Hardware $150. Everything is fairly clean and in working order. Pretty neat setup if looking for an original factory look. Donivan was asking and told him I'd take around $300 for everything.
Think to ship UPS to Texas would probably be around $50. Also have correct water pump $25 and timing chaincover $75, I'll throw them in for an additional $50, but water pump is kinda heavy.
