I have a 67 cuda orginal 273 now a 360LA. I kept the orginal steel water pump power steering brackets and alt, pulleys as original. I added a edelbrook performer manifold the one with the ac mounts. Trouble is I have never seen this AC compressor mounted on a 273 or any thing else in so long I just can't seem to figure out how to make it fit. I placed it on the front of the engine and I can't seem to squeeze all the hoses or even see how the brackets would even fit. does any one have some detailed pictures or will this thing even fit a 360 LA with a performer intake? Can any one help?

No, the 273 water pump is different from anything else. There were aftermarket AC kits for them in addition to factory stuff, but I think with that intake you will be fabricating. Now way around it.

Take a pic of what you've got. My car has the "dealer" installed A/C system, maybe I can help.
Here is a picture from a 65 Dart with 273 Charger engine! Hope it will help you.
