Why dont you just use the Z28 brackets? What is the reason for wanting to use the vette ones? If AC is a problem just notch the frame it takes a little measurement but there is no problem with the other accessories.

Yes it is very easy. What I did was just set the motor in a couple of times until I had plenty of room for the AC to clear.
