Belt tensioner bracket

Hi all,

I need some help, I years ago installed a super ram intake . It was off a 4 th gen .. as such I notched the belt tensioner bracket to make it fit 😔.
I have now returned to TPi and would like to replace this eyesore. Is it the entire ac bracket that I need ? Please see attached pic thx

Not sure why you would have needed to notch that, but yes, it's the A/C, a.i.r. pump and belt tensioner bracket all into one.

Re: Belt tensioner bracket

Is this entire front bracket TPI specific or was it used on a bunch of gm stuff of the same era?

Re: Belt tensioner bracket

I see why now, did they shorten the runners too? Or just the box? Did you sell the intake or keeping it?

Just f-body an caprice/buick type big cars. (B-body?)
