Crosswind air gap clone and ram truck serpentine setup

Rough measurement looks to be about ten inches from the top of the AC compressor down to the large flat area on top of the Magnum timing cover. It would probably be another inch higher with AC hose assembly bolted on to the top of that compressor.
Keep in mind, I am assuming the Dakota compressor is about the same diameter, but not sure.
Modifying the common Magnum bracket is probably the cheapest and easiest way to go, other than trying to run with that right rear compressor mounting bolt cut off the bracket as others have mentioned in early posts.
