Took some better pictures today. My truck has power steering and that was used but I think you could offset it to line up with a single pulley system an use the alternator for adjuster. Hope this is helpful. Dave

Dave which AC system did you get? I know it's VA but did you have to order everything separately or did you order the kit for 60-63 Chevy? It looks like I could order the same one since our engines are the same size. Hope mine will look as good as yours does!!

I used Vintage Air kit # 941164 for 64-66 GM using the original heater controls.

Dave One company told me I would have to go to a 6 blade fan but it looks like you still have a 4 blade fan. I also have power steering on my 61 305. Where did you get your compressor bracket?

I made another post but I thought that I would let you know. If anyone has an original A/C bracket there is an adapter to convert the York Bracket to the Sanden compressor. Even though there is an adapter I am still going to make one bracket to fit the Sanden on the 305's. I plan on putting the compressor on the top and the power steering bracket under it but will see how it lays out. Any suggestions please get in touch with me, I appreciate any feedback. John

Only suggestion I have John is that I'll be the first to purchase your bracket for the 305's!! Thanks for doing this John!

I have not had any issues with the four blade fan. The bracket is a SBC that was modified. Dave
