Magnum swapping the 72 Scamp!

Going to give you a little advice with your accessories and alternator. Since you are doing a v-belt instead of a serpentine, the AC will bolt on fine after removing the passenger side support bracket. The drivers side support bracket will work by opening up the intake mounting hole. If your are using the small alternator, install a 1/8 spacer at the rear of the main bracket. (mine was on the AC unit). I can take pictures tonight of what I did to make the set-up work.

Thanks for the heads up, as this is basically my next thing to tackle. I think I have the alternator figured out with the new bracket, but the other brackets I am hoping the ones I have will work.

They aren't the original and honestly not sure what they came from, assuming some kind of swap parts from one of the vendors who specialize in that. Its a newer sanden compressor. I took them out, cleaned and hit with some black paint and crossing my fingers I only need to do at worst some belt length tuning.

Heres the setup from the old 318 (minus new alt bracket not shown for magnum heads):
