Holley AC bracket

Holley has a nice AC bracket option, for sanden compressors and R3 compressors. For our cars, the R3 is a nice option since you can reuse the original one you have. Anyway, I'm adding it to a c3 corvette w/ 04 GTO engine but the drive system is the same mid drive short water pump like on camaro ls engines, popular for these swaps. Anhyway, for the bracket you also need a specific installation kit (specific to the accy drive setup) Some of the components you have to buy are an idler pulley and a tensioner (the stock tensioner is too big, the housing has long legs that won't work)

Anyway, what I found out is,...there is quite a bit of money to eb saved there.

They list a holley tensioner for a little over 100. It's the same one as this one, almost half price. Maybe you can get it cheaper locally

Then there's the idler pulley, 40 or thereabouts from holley, 17 for the same thing

All in all, it's a pretty nice piece with an OEM look to the cast bracket. I did have to do a little grinding to it to clear the plug on the back of the compressor (the brass thing on the bottom, not the electrical connector)


If it fits a low profile C3 hood, it fits most anything (even the stock hoses fit)
