I need pics of how to set up the compressor mount, i.e. driver side mount vs. passenger side mount. Where the hoses are routed, reciever/dryer mounting location, etc,etc,etc. Any pics of the interior mounting would also be helpful.
Thanks
Greg

Here are a couple of my York Drivers side bracket. You'll have to pretend there is a pulley, belt, hoses etc... The dryer was mounted to the drivers fender and there was just a 1 1/2-2 inch hole drilled in the fire wall to get the hoses through. When I eventually redo it all I'm going to get some bulkhead connectors and do the hoses that way. Much cleaner install.

Awesome engine!!! I really like the valve covers.
What I've got is a passenger side york style mount bracket. It looks like it's designed to leave the alternator in place. I'd much rather have everything mounted on the drivers side. I don't have p.s. so that won't be a problem. Will I run into clearance issues with any hoses, etc. using a drivers side mount? I've looked in every book I have to get a photo of a passenger side mount arrangement, but keep coming up dry.

This is on a 351w, but it is or was told to me to be the dealer stock air. The bracket looks to be manufactured vs handmade. Note high quality sealing job by firewall.

Exactly what I needed to see!!! I have the same bracket. I'm gonna try to locate a drivers side mount and use a sanden style compressor.

Thanks for the help!!!!!

My hoses looked just like that where they went through the fire wall, except I had a trick piece of old radiator hose wrapped around them to keep from getting cut up.
My bracket isn't stamped, it's an all welded part but it was a dealer install from what I was told, and it looks to be so. Most of the drivers ones I've seen on old mustangs have the York sitting up on it's end. Don't know if it's the same bracket or not.

I haven't installed yet - but I have the same passenger side bracket and compressor but am missing the pulley on the top. Any part #'s stamped on it, junk yard sources, better pics, etc?
