bracket/accessory setup for 1986 TPI

Anyone have any photos/suggestions for mounting the AC compressor/power steering pump with headers?

I am running the SLP (just installed) headers, and the OEM bracket for the front driver's side is no longer useable.

This is the general principle. Different brand of headers, same conundrum. Stock hardware with a spacer, which you can make yourself out of pipe parts (medium length nipples heh heh heh heh, maybe ¼" or 3/8" pipe) that you can pick up at the hardware store.

SLP sold a modified stock AC bracket for use with their headers that had the rearward one of the 2 bolt holes cut off and re-welded farther out from the head. The #1 tube interfered with it in some setups, to where it couldn't be used as-is.

Hedman has instructions on how to modify the stock bracket.
