89 A/C bracket with SLP headers
Should my A/C bracket bolt right up to the bolts on my headers? I couldn't get it to fit during the install so I left it out and I just had my hood poped with the A/C on and there was bad vibrations. I won't be surprised if I need to buy something from SLP.

Will you need this bracket for all SLP Headers or just certain part numbers? I am in the process of buying 30004's. Will I need the AC Bracket?
Also, did you guys use the SLP Header Installation kit that they offer for ~$80? If not what did you do?
TIA,
KZad

I was going to buy the install kit p/n 30043. It doesnt come with the bracket. This kit is only $45, because it goes with headers w/o A.I.R.
For that price, I cannot turn it up. I am going to call them this afternoon to figure out what to do about the brackets. (after I take a look at my car, too)
I will let you know what I find out.

I Just talked to SLP. I talked with Art (x104). He said that with the headers that I am buying -30004- the header install kit -30043- is all that I would need. He said that if I needed AC or Alternator Brackets, they would come with the kit.
He also said that depending on the Catalytic Converter that I have, I will need a Catalyst Adaptor. I personally am not purchasing one, because I am having the Y-Pipe put in by my exhaust shop.
Hope that Helps,

Is the problem that you are having with the bracket that it is too long to fit over the bolt without hitting the header tube?
That is the only fitment problem that I had with mine. Just took a grinder wheel to it and it worked fine.
If that is the problem and my description doesn't make sense let me know and we can talk through it.
BTW, I used the SLP install kit and there was nothing in it for the bracket.

When I had my SLP 1 3/4 headers installed, I used their kit and also the slip fit adaptor to the Cat. A lot less trouble then trying to fab something up at muffler shop. I think they cost less then
$20.00. Having all the parts on hand make the installation that much easier. My opinion.
