Power steering and AC bracketry quandary

BillGrissom said

For the future, there is a detailed thread on AC compressor and bracket options for a slant-six. Keep your eyes out for a ~1978 Volare/Aspen since many used a Sanden compressor. The Saginaw p.s. pump connects to the same bracket. I pulled one at PicNPull years ago. It comes threateningly close to the battery in my early A (narrower engine bay), but batteries may be smaller someday. For now, I have a custom Sanden bracket I welded which mounts at the PS 3-hole pad. If I ever change to power steering, I might go to the Volare brackets.

You talking about this thread or is there another one that I missed?
From what you're saying, sounds like the same setup as I found. What I got, came from an '80 volare.i wonder if the '78 setup would be minus smog pump?
And the p/s on that, was hung off of the ac bracketry.
On my truck it's hung off of 2 of the 7/16 threaded holes at front bottom of the block.
It's been way too long since I tore apart my own 80 volare. I don't remember how the P/S pump was hung off of that one as my volare came as factory non AC.
I tore that engine out with full intentions of doing a magnum swap from the get go, sold the original engine and gave the /6 crossmember to a buddy who had ideas of changing an Oliver tractor over to a /6. But I do have all of the needed parts for that one to put it back together with either factory AC or go back non AC like it was built. (But my brackets and lines for that car, are for the V8) that car has been "back burner" way too long, project creep has had it's way and then some with it and the "might as wells" besides.
But here lately I've been rethinking the V8 thing.
One thing with that car that's non negotiable, is the swap to a 5 speed stick. Originally was a 904 car.
