i guess this question could apply to anyone with headers and air conditioning. i have an 86 IROC w/ a/c on the driver side. has anyone gotten headers to fit without modifying the a/c bracket? Could i survive without this bracket. The bracket goes right over the manifold. I just called home and my headers have arrived with the install kit and cat adapter but I bought the kit that doesn't come with the bracket. He said the $110 kit was for A.I.R. and I didn't order a.i.r. What should I do?

 

None of the install kits come with brackets. All that comes included, from memory, is some hose, pipe clamps, and header bolts. You will need to use the same brackets that are there. This means that you will need to use a few of the bolts that came off of the manifolds, like the double threaded end bolts. I could be wrong but I think all you will need to do is get some rubber hose so you can make the connections to the air fittings. Just get 2 ft of 5/8 or 3/4 inch hose and make the connections longer and you might be OK. Any body else????

Good Luck!

Mine came with a bracket that bolted to the header. Nice heavy one. of course I bought the ones that was for A.I.R..
