Classic Auto Air Bracket kits on Small Blocks? Need photos
I did buy the kit with the add-on pulley, and it arrived today. I did a quick test fit on the main bracket and the compressor to see if it would work with my Super Victor EFI intake, and it will clear to get the compressor on, but I will have to do some things differently.
Somehow the kit was shipped without any packing for the brackets and add-on pulley, this is annoying, also it wasn't well bagged. The spacers appear to also be unpainted so I guess I get to repaint some of this and also paint all the spacers.
They include a bracket that's supposed to attach to a boss that at least exists on the factory intakes and some of the aftermarket ones, but does not exist on a super victor, so that's not useable.
It says in the instructions that both heater hoses are 5/8, so I will have to replace the intake fitting (which is 1/2 on a stock setup), and I have to do some rework to the fuel feed to my EFI that is there so the brackets fit on the back and clears everything, which may mean going over the valve cover or alternator instead of how I've had it.
I need to re-seal the timing cover due to a leak so I'll be tearing it all off anyway.
I think the rest is fairly straightforward given that it's standard A-body stuff pretty much everywhere else other than my 26" radiator and the location of my overflow tank which will probably have to change that somehow as well.
